Quasifractal planar microstrip resonators for microwave circuits

We propose a new shape for microwave planar circuits using the self-similarity of the fractal geometry. This new shape allows the generation of numerous resonant frequencies for this microwave planar resonator due to the surface's encasing. The resonant frequency assessment can be useful for the concept of filters or wide frequency band matching loads as examples, without consuming circuit surface. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
