In order to fulfill the antenna design requirements in different frequency bands and to minimize the interference phenomena arising from the integration of different classes of antennas in a single device, a two-phases stochastic optimization approach is used. The experimental validation carried out on the developed prototype confirms the effectiveness of the proposed approach. date: 2005-06 date_type: published institution: University of Trento department: informaticat refereed: TRUE referencetext: 1 N.
