The resonant behavior of the Koch fractal monopole is considered as a function of its geometry, height and wire length. It is demonstrated that the resonant behavior of the Koch fractal is not uniquely determined by its geometry and that optimum resonant performance is exhibited by the simple Euclidean monopole. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
