Abstract
Two 2-D natural fractal monopoles generated by electro-deposition are characterized in term of measured return loss. Depending on their different shapes, previously reported multi-band behaviour and new ultra-wideband (UWB) characteristics are obtained. Finally, sufficient efficiencies are measured for both antennas proving their possible use as radiating element.
