Prize awarded for thesis on multifrequency and small monopole antenna techniques
Barcelona, 8 June 2006 - Fractus, the fractal antenna technology pioneer, has announced that Short-Range Wireless Division lead engineer Dr Jordi Soler has won the 2005 Nokia Prize for the Best Doctoral Thesis about Mobile Internet and Third Generation Mobile Solutions awarded by the Spanish College of Telecommunications Engineers.
The award was for Dr Soler’s thesis titled “Novel Multi-frequency and Small Monopole Antenna Techniques for Wireless and Mobile Applications”.
Dr Soler was presented with the award at a ceremony today at the El Pardo palace in Madrid. The event was the 26th of the College’s annual award ceremonies.
The College (Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación) is the leading Spanish association for telecoms engineers and academics and was established in 1967. “Jordi Soler’s award highlights the high level of antenna technology skills that Fractus brings to the antenna market,” said Fractus Short-Range Wireless Division director Tim Hillison. “Dr Soler is one of 5 PhD’s working at Fractus to constantly improve the capabilities of our antennas and of our customers’ devices.”
Dr Jordi Soler has been working on the design and production of cellular mobile terminals, wireless components, semiconductor applications, motor vehicles and RFID projects since 2000. He is the author and co-author of more than 40 technical papers and holds more than 10 patents on fractal and other related antenna inventions. In 1999 he received the Spanish College of Telecommunication Engineers Award on New Technologies Applied to Antennas and Radiating Systems, and in 2000 received the AP2000 Millennium Conference on Antennas and Propagation Award for Best Poster Paper on Antennas.
