## Abstract A high‐directivity microstrip array using multilevel elements based on fractal geometry is theoretically compared with an array using circular patches. Within the same electrical area, the same directivity can be obtained. However, the number of elements for the fractal‐based array is 2

Abstract
The unique geometrical properties of fractals have been proven to be useful to design advanced antennas. Enhanced performance in terms of size, gain, or multifrequency behavior is observed in fractal‐shaped antennas. Here, a small and high‐directivity antenna based on the Sierpinski fractal is presented. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 31: 239–241, 2001.

## Abstract A novel miniature antenna loaded with a space‐filling shaped transmission line is presented. Return loss and antenna gain results are compared with a traditional square patch. Experimental results show that the antenna presents an electrical area 18 times less than the square patch. © 2
