Curve Fitting Based Particle Swarm Optimization for UWB Patch Antenna

An optimization technique for microstrip patch antenna using Curve Fitting based Particle Swarm Optimization (CFPSO) is presented in this paper. An E-H shaped patch antenna designed using conventional optimization technique for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) communication is utilized to demonstrate the optimization technique. The conventional optimized antenna is designed by searching an acceptable solution from amongst the invariably huge collective range of geometry variables. The data for curve fitting is obtained from EM simulator by varying different geometrical parameters of the antenna. Using the data, the equations representing the relationship among different parameters of a microstrip antenna are generated. Curve fitting software was used to generate the curve. The CFPSO program was developed and executed in MATLAB. Conventionally optimized antenna is compared with CFPSO optimized antenna in this paper. The result yields that CFPSO showed remarkable improvement over bandwidth. For the E-H shaped antenna, the bandwidth is increased by 27% compared to conventionally optimized antenna.
