Abstract:
Abstract:In this study, a low-profile, high directive circular microstrip antenna was designed for 5.8 GHz ISM band applications. In the design, the GA / MoM approach based on the Method of Moments (MoM) integrated with the Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization method was used. The simulations of the best first and second antennas obtained as a result of the optimization process were made using the ANSYS HFSS software program. According to the simulation results, it was determined that the input reflection coefficient of both antennas was below -10 dB in the ISM band where the antenna was operating and had maximum directivity. It was observed that the radiation characteristics of both antennas obtained with the GA / MoM approach were steady-state in the operating band. It was concluded that asymmetric pixelation used in this method can be used in the design of antennas with different geometries.
