Design of a Novel UWB Omnidirectional Antenna Using Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstract

A UWB E-plane omnidirectional microwave antenna is designed and fabricated for IEEE 802.11a communication system and microwave magnetron source system as a radiation monitor. A cooptimization method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and FDTD software is presented. The presented PSO algorithm is useful in many industrial microwave applications, such as microwave magnetron design and other techniques with a high power level. The maximum measured relative bandwidth of 65% is achieved for the proposed antenna after a rapid and efficient optimization. Furthermore, the measured antenna polarization purity reaches about 20 dB at the communication C band. The PSO algorithm is a powerful candidate for microwave passive component design.

“…The bound leads to a controlled and manageable increase in the particle velocity. Lack of such a bound may lead the velocity of the particles to cross a certain level after which is attains negative direction, which is highly undesirable (Yu et al, 2015). The velocity upgrade step is explained as below: Fig.…”

Bio-Inspired Algorithms Applied on Microstrip Patch Antennas: a Review

“…Therefore, in contrast to GA based MPAs, lesser number of PSO based MPAs are found in the literature. Potential of using PSO to synthesize ultra wideband [50]- [53], broadband [54]- [55] and multiband [55]- [57] MPAs have been explored. In most of the work, manipulation of geometrical parameters is apparent.…”
