E8 Fractal Antenna

[FrankM]

If the E8 geometric structure was considered to be a fractal antenna, what frequencies would it support?

I'm no expert.

 

I had to go Google "E8" to find out what it might be.

 

Having said that—I think all those wires in such close proximity would give you Horrendous Losses due to Hysteresis.

I don't think the E8 shape is fractal: that said, the length of the wires used and the sensitivity of the pick -up(s)/amplifier(s) would determine it's efficacy at any given frequency.

I think it's just a bad shape for an antenna as induced currents would oppose each other rather than sum!

Hysteresis would not be determined by the shape,but by the materials used, non-ferrous would be better than ferrous!

Considering the E8 geometric form being a fractal is not original to me.

Reading your reference I see no one says it is a fractal, only the first poster says it seems "somewhat similar to fractals." It is not a fractal. Among other considerations it has finite length and it is not self-similar at different scales. The E8 graph would not make a good antenna due to the many crossings.
