1 WHY A COST ACTION ON INNOVATIVE ANTENNAS FOREMERGING APPLICATIONS?
1.1 Introduction by the COST 284 Chair 
This is the executive summary of the final report of COSTAction 284 on “
 Innovative Antennas for Emerging Terrestrial and Space-Based Applications
” of the COST framework of European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and TechnicalResearch. The project has involved cooperation between 20European countries (
 Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Serbia Spain, Sweden,Switzerland, Turkey and U.K 
.)
and ESA
over a four year periodfrom 2002 to 2006. In addition, organisations in the
Czech Republic, Poland and Romania
as well as organisations in
 Canada, Mexico and Russia
took part in the work as observers.The scope of the work covers antennas for terrestrial and space-based applications. The work has beencarried out in two Working Groups:
1.
 
 Advanced Modelling & Optimisation Techniques2.
 
 Innovation in Front-End Architectures, Technologies & Techniques
and in four Focus Areas:
 A.
 
Conformal Antennas B.
 
Small Antennas for Mobile and Wireless TerminalsC.
 
Millimetric Antennas D.
 
 Novel Multi-Beam Antenna Techniques and Architectures
A main achievement of COST 284 was the creation of the successful
 FP6 Network of Excellence ACE (Antenna Centre of Excellence)
and our contribution to the creation of the
 European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP ‘2006)
6-10 Nov. 2006 in Nice. COST 284 was extended by half ayear to allow this conference to be also the final COST 284 workshop with 99 COST 284 technical presentations.The final report includes this executive summary with the background and the main achievements of the Action and a CD-ROM with all the technical contributions to the Action presented by of thenational participants. The CD-ROM contains both this executive summary and the detailed nationalcontributions. COST 284 was supported by COST TIST first under the EU COST Office and thenunder the ESF COST Office. We are grateful for this supportCOST 284 is the seventh COST Action on antennas. Initiated by Professor E. Folke Bolinder fromChalmers University of Technology (S), these Actions have created a unique forum for technicalexchange in the field of Antennas in Europe. The first “project” started in 1973. Five Europeancountries (F, D, NL, S, SF) collaborated in COST project 25/1 “
 Aerial Networks with Phase Control 
”.The project lasted four years and included the building and testing of prototype maritime mobilesatellite communications terminals.COST 25/1 was followed, from 1980 to 1984, by COST 204 “
 Phased Array Antennas and their Novel  Applications
” with 9 signatories. COST 213 “
 Antennas in the 1990's
” focusing on phased arrays from1984 to 1988 had 13 signatories and was followed, from 1988 to 1992, by COST 223 on “
 Active Antennas
”. Next was COST 245 “
 Active Phased Arrays and Array Fed Antennas
", from 1993 to 1997,
