Abstract
Fractal antenna technology is a promising approach for 5G applications because its complex nature offers optimization potential in terms of time and space trade-offs. However, the computational effort required to analyze such antennas is significant. This paper investigates the Advanced Transverse Wave Approach (ATWA), which utilizes the surface impedance technique to improve simulation efficiency. This study introduces and analyzes a fractal-like 5G tree structure, displaying improved computational accuracy and efficacy, as well as peak memory utilization compared to current works. The proposed approach demonstrates significant effectiveness in enhancing the performance of complex fractal antennas for 5G technology and shows promise for integration with cloud, fog, and edge computing environments. This integration could potentially optimize data processing and network efficiency in these advanced computing landscapes.
