Abstract

Genetic algorithm (GA) is utilized to design microstrip patch antenna shapes for broad bandwidth. A new project based on GA and high frequency simulation software (HFSS) is proposed to perform optimization. Reasonable agreement between simulated results and measured results of the GA-optimized design is obtained. The optimized patch design exhibits a three-fold enhancement in bandwidth when contrasted with a standard square microstrip antenna, showing the validity of this project.
