In order to minimize the linear dimensions of the antenna and to obtain Voltage Standing Wave Ratio values within specifications, the device configuration has been synthesized by defining a suitable building pre- fractal geometry tuned through a customized Particle Swarm Optimizer. This is the author's version of the final version available at IEEE.
