Abstract

This study investigates the application of nonstandard analysis techniques to the fractal geometry of the Koch snowflake curve, with a focus on its implications for antenna design. We develop a rigorous mathematical framework using hyperreal numbers and the transfer principle to analyze the self-similarity and scaling properties of the Koch snowflake at infinitesimal scales. A novel approach to computing the Hausdorff dimension using nonstandard methods is presented, yielding results consistent with classical techniques while providing new insights into the fractal's "scaling complexity." We prove theorems on infinitesimal scaling and infinite scale invariance, establishing a foundation for understanding the multi-band and wideband behavior of Koch snowflake antennas. The study demonstrates the advantages of nonstandard analysis in capturing the infinite complexity of fractal structures without relying on limiting processes. Our findings contribute to both pure mathematics, by offering new perspectives on fractal geometry, and applied science, by suggesting optimization strategies for fractal antenna designs. This research bridges the gap between advanced mathematical techniques and practical engineering applications, opening new avenues for investigation in fractal theory and antenna engineering.
