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. date: 2011-01 type: Technical Report type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/436/1/DISI-11-089-OR12.pdf identifier: Lizzi, Leonardo and Oliveri, Giacomo (2011) Hybrid design of a fractal-shaped GSM/UMTS antenna.
