,,,,good ,for the beginners, the diamond side must be (0,27....0,55)* lambda,for the antenna to work in desired parameters  ...!!!!!

,,,or less ...lambda/4,lambda /8,lambda/16,lambda/32....!!!

I don't know ..i just follow the logic ..and most of fractal antennas are created like this.

Are you sure that CST know calculate fractals ?

This one is little bit different type of minkowski fractal i saw it before .

anyway antenna is tested ..from 14 DVB TV chanels in my area i can pick them all.

Two of them are not stable hence weak signal or just different direction.

I must say that i pick up those TV channels without reflector...but when i add reflector then i get more stability  

as it supposed to be ...

also antenna for testing is on TV set with just 1 m of coax 75ohm cable..

so i will mount it on my roof to test antenna outdoor.

all best..

But anyway, I think antenna feeding should be done differently, as well as antenna Minkowski...!!!

OK i have original - fabric made - asimetric element  .hence baloon

and i add it to antenna and now seems that work better.

This small mink fractal i already build for 2,4ghz and work well 

but maybe minkowski shape is not the best for biquad type
