Abstract :
The influence of fractal dimension on radiation efficiency and quality factor of small self-resonant prefractal wire monopoles is investigated through simulations and measurements using the Wheeler cap method. Comparison of parameters for the same electrical size between prefractal and Euclidean antennas is also shown.
