title: Synthesis of a Three-Dimensional Triband (L1-L2 GPS and Wi-Fi) Prefractal Tree Antenna

full_text_status: public
abstract: In this letter, the synthesis of a 3D wire antenna with a tree-like shape and operating at three different frequency bands (L1-L2 GPS bands and Wi-Fi) is presented. The Geometrical parameters of the antenna are determined by means of a particle swarm-based optimization procedure exploiting the degrees of freedom of the reference tree geometry for fitting the electrical project costraints. The results of the numerical simulation are shown and compared with those for experimental measurements for assessing the effectiveness of the synthesis procedure.
