Abstract :
This paper proposes a new topology optimization method for the structural design of antennas, based on time-domain analysis using the FDTD method. First, the concept of the topology optimization and the way of integrated the topology optimization and the FDTD method are explained. Then, DRA design example is presented in order to confirm the usefulness of the proposed method
