Abstract

A compact planar multiband antenna for 3G/4G mobile terminals is presented. The proposed design consists of a Sierpinski Gasket fractal geometry perturbed according to a Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) strategy in order to operate in advanced wireless services (AWS-1, 1710–1755 MHz, 2110–2155 MHz) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX, 3300–3600 MHz) bands. Numerical and experimental results assess the effectiveness of the proposed prototype in its multiband operations fitting the project constraints.
