Abstract

The optimization of a patch antenna in this work was done using Genetic Algorithm Optimization technique, which involves the use of evolutionary principles and techniques to search for the optimal design parameters that meets the desire performance characteristics. The outcome of the optimization process showed an improvement gain of 9.5 dβ, a reduction in returning loss of -30.2 dβ and Resonance frequency of 2.399GHz, which is close to the desire value of 2.4GHz needed for wireless communication applications. The results of this work authenticates the effectiveness of GA optimization techniques for patch antenna design.
