Abstract
The retina nano-antenna shows a major characteristic of the center-fed dipole antenna’s working in the visible region. The cellular assembly that might work as a network of antennas is analyzed here. The collective response of various cone cells holds the geometric features of the antenna network. The fractal arrangement of the antenna lattice holds various symmetries during electromagnetic signal processing, and each symmetry generates a peak in the resonance band. Using true biological structural data, we have identified the resonance frequency spectrum of entire nano-network of cone and rod cells in a human eye.
