Abstract :
The properties of a three dimensional Hilbert wire antenna are presented. The 3D Hilbert curve is a space filling curve that is a generalization of the surface Hilbert curve. The behavior of a wire antenna built after the three dimensional Hilbert curve is investigated in terms of the resonant frequency and the quality factor Q.
