Abstract

The application of genetic algorithm (GA) optimization to the design of ultra-wideband antennas for use in multi-service wireless devices is described. The antennas explored in this study are monopoles with planar, fully-metal radiating elements. The key design constraints and criteria to be considered in the development of such antennas are discussed. Presented and discussed are results from an application of a GA optimizer to the design of bow-tie and reverse bow-tie monopole antennas
