1. An apparatus comprising:
- a non-conductive material; and
a conductive material constructed to form an antenna in which the antenna has a shape determined by selecting a predetermined number of segments that form a fractional portion of a recursion stage of a fractal pattern, in which the predetermined number of segments are selected approximately from adjacent border arrays of the recursion stage of the fractal pattern, so that the recursion stage of the fractal pattern is modified to provide a modified fractal pattern that has fractal expansion prominently in one linear direction.

Abstract
A fractal antenna array based on a modified Peano-Gosper curve. The fractal antenna array is constructed using a 100-segment fractal curve that has the fractal expansion in a linear direction.
