Barcelona, 28 March 2006—Fractus, the pioneer developer of fractal antenna technology, has been granted the world’s first patent for multilevel antennas.
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 systems and 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.
