Microstrip Patch Antenna Optimization Using Modified Central Force Optimization
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 21, 281-298, 2010
Abstract
Central force optimization (CFO) is a new simple deterministic multi-dimensional search evolutionary algorithm (EA) inspired by gravitational kinematics. This paper evaluates CFO's performance and provides further examples on its effectiveness. A new scheme, the acceleration clipping, is introduced, which enhances CFO's global search ability while maintaining its simplicity. The improved CFO algorithm is applied to the optimal design of two different wideband microstrip patch antennas. Specifically, a microstrip line fed E-shaped patch antenna and a coaxial line fed double-E-shaped patch antenna are designed and optimized using the CFO method. CFO's performance on these antennas is compared to that of the differential evolution (DE) optimization. Both the CFO and DE methods are interfaced with the full-wave IE3D software. It is found that the CFO results are very close to those obtained using the DE technique.
