  • Abstract
    Printed antenna based on 2D-images of a fractal liquid jet has been designed and analyzed numerically. In this work, the effect of the structure´s size on the antenna behavior was presented. The return loss, radiation patterns and surface current densities were simulated over the frequency band 1-20 GHz for 3 different sizes of the structure. It is found the size of the fractal antenna affects the antenna radiation properties.
