Abstract

This chapter deals with a brief review of fractal electrodynamics including fractal antenna, fractal frequency selective surface and metamaterials. A brief review of different classes’ of aperture coupling problems in waveguides, conducting screens and cavities has also being reported here. Based on the review work, several aperture coupling problems involving rectangular waveguides, conducting screens and cavities are identified.
