1. An electromagnetic transmission-line in which at least one of its parts is shaped as a space-filling curve (hereafter SFC), being said SFC defined as a curve composed by at least ten connected straight segments, wherein said segments are smaller than a tenth of the operating free-space wave length and they are spatially arranged over a surface in such a way that none of said adjacent and connected segments form another straight segment, wherein none of said segments intersect to each other except optionally at the tips of the curve, and wherein the corners formed by each pair of said adjacent segments can be optionally rounded or smoothed otherwise.
