Space-filling miniature antennas |
(57) A novel geometry, the geometry of Space-Filling Curves (SFC) is defined in the present
invention and it is used to shape a part of an antenna. By means of this novel technique,
the size of the antenna can be reduced with respect to prior art, or alternatively,
given a fixed size the antenna can operate at a lower frequency with respect to a
conventional antenna of the same size.
