For many years, antenna and microwave engineering have been developed separately. Microwave engineers focus on controlling radio waves, while antenna engineers design complex antennas to send signals.

Antenna booster technology is changing this. Instead of needing custom antennas, antenna boosters are small, standard parts that can be easily added to devices. They fit onto circuit boards just like any other electronic component, making the design and manufacturing of wireless devices, like IoT, much faster and easier.

Antenna boosters not only improve connectivity but also help create more efficient and environmentally friendly devices, leading to a more sustainable future. The presentation will cover the basics of antenna booster technology and how they are being used in today’s wireless technology.

Dr. Jaume Anguera, IEEE Fellow, founder and CTO at Ignion. Professor at Ramon LLull University. With 25 years of experience both in industry and academia, he is an inventor of more than 180 granted patents, licensed to telecom companies. +200 million devices adopted his invented technology. Inventor of Antenna Booster Technology, which fostered the creation of Ignion. Between 2003 to 2006, he was with Fractus in Korea to head up the research team. One of his main tasks was to provide development of the team’s core competency and R&D vision to address the rapidly growing mobile device market. Under his leadership, the company had secured major contracts with companies such as Samsung, LG, and Bellwave, to name a few. Author +300 scientific papers. He has participated in +24 funded research projects exceeding €14M. He has been invited +90 antenna lectures worldwide and directed the engineering, master, and Ph.D thesis of +195 students. Published 7 books and 10 proceedings. He is an IEEE Antennas and Propagation Distinguished Lecturer.
