Objective Functions for the Optimization of an Ultra Wideband Antenna

Abstract

This work proposes an objective function to optimize an ultra wideband antenna for adjusting the bandwidth and coupling with other elements, based on the performance comparison of several objective functions from the literature. The optimal dimensions of a printed rectangular monopole antenna were obtained with the Particle Swarm Optimization method to compare such functions. In the results of the comparison, the linear functions had a mean value of S11 magnitude near the threshold, but they presented a smaller standard deviation than the rest of the functions. The logarithmic and cubic functions showed a mean value of S11 magnitude higher than the double of the threshold, but they had superior standard deviation values, which did not happen with the quadratic function. Hence, the proposed function is the mean of a logarithmic expression with the quadratic argument. With this function, a bandwidth adjustment of 130%, a mean S11 magnitude of -22.1 dB and a standard deviation equal to 6.7 dB were obtained on the resonant band for the designed antenna. In this way, the proposed function can be used to avoid interference with other wireless systems and to obtain a uniform coupling of the antenna.

Design and Optimization of High-gain Series and Parallel-fed Array Antennas for Enhanced Gain and Front-to-back Ratio in X-Band Applications

“…The aforementioned attributes render them exceptionally well-suited for implementation in millimeter-wave (MMW) scenarios, outperforming preceding metal-based configurations such as four quadrant horn arrays with reflectors and waveguide slot arrays (9,10). Numerous comprehensive research studies have explored microstrip arrays, employing both parallel and series feed techniques (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16), plate slot arrays (17), and substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) slot arrays (18)(19)(20)(21)(22).…”

Joint Sensing Times Detection Thresholds and Users Association Optimization in Multi-Channel Multi-Antenna Cognitive Radio Networks

“…The above-mentioned works only consider singleantenna CRNs. However, multi-antenna systems can provide many benefits for CRN such as multiplexing gain and diversity [24,25]. In multi-antenna CSS, diversity leads to behave SUs virtually the same as systems having multiple sensing SUs.…”

Development of a Non-Iterative Macromodeling Technique by Data Integration and Least Square Method

“…Full detail modeling of many practical structures in engineering fields, such as solving Maxwell's equations at the system level, is very difficult based on the first principle [1]. This is because the complete simulation of these structures is highly time-consuming and needs a large amount of memory [2,3]. In some cases, the complexity is due to the electrical size of the structure leading to an unreasonable number of unknowns.…”
