Abstract

Computer simulation is employed to simulate the electrodynamic parameters of new fractal antennas and frequency-selective surfaces based on such antennas in the frequency range up to 20 GHz. The analysis of the original fractal antennas is supplemented with the study of the fractal frequency-selective 3D media or fractal sandwiches (i.e., radioelectronic fractal micro/nanostructures that contain no less than two layers. The efficiency of the fractal antennas and the fractal frequency-selective 3D media is demonstrated. The methods to create new passive electron components and elements for modern broadband and multifrequency radio systems based on such media are proposed
