As reference geometry, a hybrid pre-fractal shape has been adopted by integrating a sierpinski-like and a Meander-like structure. The synthesis of the antenna has been performed by optimizing the descriptive geometrical parameters of the reference shape by means of a customized Particle Swarm strategy to comply with the electrical and geometrical requirements.}, url = {http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/436/}, keywords = {Antenna synthesis, fractal geometry,multiband antennas, particle swarmoptimizer, Sierpinski, Meander.} }
