Inscribed Fibonacci Circle Fractal in a Circular Radiator for Ultra-Wideband Antenna Operation and Size Reduction

In this article, a Fibonacci circle fractal is inscribed into a circular radiator in order to provide ultra-wideband behavior as well as a 50% size reduction compared to a conventional circular monopole. The third iteration of the Fibonacci series allows the antenna to obtain a steady S11 parameter...
