Abstract
The performance of space-filling curves used as small antennas is evaluated in terms of quality factor and radiation efficiency. The influence of their topology is also considered. Although the potential use of these curves is for antenna miniaturization, their behavior is not exceptional when compared with other intuitively generated antennas.
