Abstract
[EN] This paper summarizes the research that has been developed by the authors for the last six years, concerning the design of planar wideband antennas for portable devices. Basic structures combining electric and magnetic elements are proposed, which lead to antennas with large bandwidth. Thus, by using these basic structures, a polarization diversity antenna, a wideband antenna for DVB-H applications and a wideband MIMO antenna have been proposed for wireless applications in mobile terminals. Prototypes of all the antennas have been fabricated and measured at iTEAM and/or CWC facilities.This work was supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad under the projects TEC2010-20841-C04-01 and CSD2008-00068, and by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (Tekes projects AATE and MIMOTA) and its industrial partners, EB, ETS Lindgren, Nokia Devices Oulu and Pulse Finland Inc.
