Abstract

In this paper, beauty of fractals, some bases of its, processes, parameters and pictures of Mandelbrot and Julia sets are represented. Algorithms of computer-aided design of the dipole and planar fractal antennas of different orders are described. Current distribution, characteristics of impedance, distribution of near electromagnetic field and radiation of the fractal antennas are analyzed. Represented antennas structures may be used in modern radiocommunication systems.
