Triangle Gasket Fractal Antenna

3rd Order, Triangle Gasket
Due to the high volume of wire consumed in this design, it was necessary to enlarge the frequency range to ascertain any finger print for the form. The feed point was moved through the design to find patterns resonances. All such points were chosen with bilateral symmetry in mind. Thus the SWR charts below illustrate the drive condition found for the chosen feed point. Again, given the amount of wire consumed in this design, frequency points of 5 MHz intervals are used below. This makes for a rather jagged presentation and may even result in hiding sharp resonances.

This is the SWR for a 200 Ohm feed point Z. The feed point corresponds to the source being inserted at the top corner (a V-like configuration). This is an extremely Hi Z antenna with the majority of resonances at 600 Ohms or more.

This is the SWR for a 200 Ohm feed point Z. The feed point is found as illustrated above. It is different from the other interior feed point responses in that its lower frequency components are truncated or lost (like the corner drive above).

This is the SWR for a 200 Ohm feed point Z. The antenna is in fact even more resistive, ranging from 300 - 400 Ohms. This SWR is not due to the drive point illustrated above, it occurs on the horizontal wire immediately below.

This is the SWR for a 200 Ohm feed point located at the bottom wire (dead center). Large non-resonant regions match other data. Null depths vary, but their resonant frequency appears to remain constant.
