BARCELONA, March 28 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ –
Fractus, the pioneer developer of fractal antenna technology, has been
granted the world’s first patent for multilevel antenna technology.
The Multilevel Antennae patent has been granted in the US under patent
#7,015,868 and in Europe under EP1223637. It has also been granted in Russia
and Mexico with further international application responses expected in the
coming months.
Multilevel antenna technology allows mobile devices to provide increased
frequency bands in a smaller physical space. This allows wireless devices to
incorporate more wireless standards and more frequency bands and also helps
device designers achieve small and stylish form factors. The multilevel
technology developed by Fractus provides a systematic reference for
geometry-based designs using fractal mathematics. Its application spans
industries from telecommunications to automotive.
"Fractus is committed to create smaller, better performing antennas for
tomorrow’s wireless devices," said Dr. Carles Puente, Fractus CTO. "Global
recognition of our Intellectual Property by patent offices worldwide proves
Fractus’ invention in antenna design and development and its relevance to the
industry as a whole."
Fractus’ patent portfolio encompasses 42 patent families and in total some
199 national patents covering Europe, US, China, Japan, Korea, India, Russia,
Brazil and Mexico. 10% of Fractus employees hold a PhD and 60% are telecoms
engineers. Fractus has published 50 IEEE papers and spoken at dozens of
international conferences on the latest advances in mobile device and base
station antenna technologies. Its customers include global leaders, such as
Samsung, Sagem, CSR, Atheros Communications, Philips Semiconductors and
Siemens.
