    Abstract: An antenna arrangement that is designed to match, or approach based on a cost function, a specification includes a list of a plurality of predefined frequencies and, possibly a list of predefined bandwidths at a matching level. The antenna arrangement is designed using a plurality of predefined elements comprising a primary conductive element defined as a main trunk and a combination of secondary conductive elements selected from trunks, branches or leaves. The primary conductive element and the secondary conductive elements are defined by design parameters that comprise a susceptance that is a function of a geometry, a form factor, a main dimension, an orientation of the secondary conductive elements relative to the primary conductive element and a position of the secondary conductive elements on the primary conductive element. The antenna arrangement may be further defined to match a predefined form factor.
