Evolved Design of Microstrip Patch Antenna by Genetic Programming

An evolved antenna is an antenna designed fully or substantially by an automatic computer design program that uses an evolutionary algorithm. In this article, we present our work in using evolutionary algorithms to an automated antenna design system. Based on the primal individual structure of genetic programming (GP) is a tree form, a new data-structure computer program which can be represented as entire parameters of an antenna has been explored. The first experiment has been done successfully for automated design the antenna for 5G mobile device which is microstrip patch antenna (MPA) that operates at 3.5 GHz with 50-160 MHz of bandwidth. The innovative MPAs are obtained by this software. This work shows a great potential of the development of the intelligent computer program for automated synthesis antenna as well as conformal antenna.
