Design Microstrip Antenna Using Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstract

In this work, particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) models have been built for the design of microstrip antennas in various forms such as rectangular and equilateral triangle antenna. The analysis problem can be defined as to obtain resonant frequency for a given dielectric material and geometrical structure. This approach has a few advantages: giving a clearer and simpler representation of the problem, and totally avoiding binary encoding and decoding so as to simplify software programming. The antenna designed using PSO is implemented using Microwave Office software 7.1 produced in 2007.
