Abstract

The paper presents an in-depth analysis of the latest advances in the field of fractals and meta surfaces for solving fundamental problems in radio physics and radio engineering. The relevance of these studies is related to the need for a more accurate description of all real processes occurring in radio physical and radio engineering systems: taking into account the hereditarily (memory), non-Gaussian and scaling of physical signals and fields. Trends in technology development are considered based on new concepts for processing multidimensional signals in radio systems and transforming parts of the wireless environment into a smart radio environment. The author characterizes the new concept, which takes full advantage of the physical properties of electromagnetic waves and the universality of the topology of fractal sets, as a “multi-profile radio”. Author is developing and strengthening his ideas about necessary of new “fractal” dimension introduction in science and technology and not for auxiliary role but as fundamental describing factor. The use of fractal systems, sensors and nodes is a fundamentally new solution that significantly changes the principles of building intelligent radio engineering systems and devices.
