Application of Optimization Techniques to Antennas

Abstract

In recent years, modern wireless communication systems and information transfer have highlighted the major need for antenna design advancements as an essential part of any wireless system. Microstrip patch antenna fulfills the desired wireless systems’ necessities. These antennas have triggered extensive research due to their significant advantages which includes compact size, low profile, light weight, low volume, relatively low manufacturing cost, ease of fabrication, and compatibility with integrated circuits. Microstrip patch antennas have led to diversified applications utilizing microwave systems such as biomedical systems, radars, mobile, satellite communications, and global positioning satellite (GPS).
