| Abstract |
The aim of this project is basic research on fractal electrodynamics in order to explore the performance limits of highly innovative fractal shaped miniature devices for the future wireless telecommunication systems. This project will (i) explore if fractal devices can reach the fundamental size limit, not reached yet by Euclidean shaped devices, that establishes the smallest size for a given operating bandwidth; and (ii) assess the viability of such devices in the framework of present technology constraints. The result should be the basis of a new generation of miniature microwave devices such as antennas, filters and resonators. The development of miniature wireless communication sub-systems would remove one of the bottlenecks that prevent the integration of multimedia, communication and remote sensing services in small user terminals, resulting in a significant breakthrough for the Information Society Technologies. |
