Simple Procedure for Evaluating the Impedance Matrix of Fractal and Fractile Arrays

Abstract
A fractal array is an antenna array which holds a property called "self-similarity". This means that parts of the whole structure are similar to the whole. A recursive procedure for evaluating the impedance matrix is allowed primarily by exploiting the self-similarity. However, numerous fractal arrays are extremely complicated in structure. Therefore, for these arrays, it is extremely elaborate to formulate explicitly a recursive relation. This paper proposes a simple procedure for evaluating, without formulating explicitly a recursive relation, the impedance matrix of fractal and fractile arrays; a fractile array is any array with a fractal boundary contour that tiles the plane without gaps or overlaps.
