Fractal Antenna Systems Reports Wideband Antenna Technology.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2003 Fractal Antenna A fractal antenna is an antenna that uses a fractal, self-similar design to maximize the length, or increase the perimeter (on inside sections or the outer structure), of material that can receive or transmit electromagnetic signals within a given total surface area or volume. Systems, Inc. today disclosed the second of two technical presentations divulging the realization of its proprietary wideband In communications, transmission rates from 64 Kbps to 2 Mbps. Contrast with narrowband and broadband. antenna technology. The innovative approach uses fractals to make antennas that work over a very large range of frequencies. This allows a single antenna to meet the needs of many uses and dramatically extends antenna options for wireless applications in commercial, military and public safety markets. The firm first publicly disclosed the possibilities of its wideband technology last month at a technical conference, Wireless 2003, in Calgary, Alberta. Most recently, a follow on presentation at the ongoing RAWCON RAWCON Radio and Wireless Conference 2003 conference in Boston added to the technical and scientific basis to the approach.

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , David Moschella, explained the importance of the efforts: "In 1995, our scientists disclosed how to use fractals to make antennas with broad passbands and better performance. Then in 1999, they reported a beautiful piece of physics explaining how fractals are needed for the complete understanding of frequency independent (wideband) antennas. Since then we have succeeded in delivering practical wideband antennas that meet the real needs of emerging telecom and wireless technologies."

The biblical priesthood was hereditary and male. , CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. has headed the efforts. "It's a very challenging problem to make solid science into engineered solutions for wideband antennas. We have practical designs, which work where other antennas cannot, and our efforts continue to solve new challenges." Cohen noted that antennas with good gain and frequency ranges of 100:1 have been realized with the new technology. The firm has already provided several customers with very wideband, high performance antennas in vehicular and planar A technique developed by Fairchild Instruments that creates transistor sublayers by forcing chemicals under pressure into exposed areas. Planar superseded the mesa process and was a major step toward creating the chip. platforms and is continuing to deliver ongoing orders for the technology. ABOUT FRACTAL Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc., is privately held and based in Bedford, MA. The company was founded in 1995 and develops and commercializes fractal antenna and related innovations in electromagnetics, electronics, and evolutionary computation evolutionary computation - Computer-based problem solving systems that use computational models of evolutionary processes as the key elements in design and implementation. . It holds 6 patents on fractal antennas and related technology and has an expanding proprietary, patent pending position on fractal element antennas and related technologies. The firm's scientists pioneered the field of fractal antennas and fractal electronics. Web: http:/www.fractenna.com or http:/www.fractalantenna.com. |
