Abstract
The miniaturization of antennas is crucial as it improves the integration of wireless communication system. In order to achieve miniaturization of antennas, a performance-constrained multi-objective optimization method (PCMOM) considering the size and return loss is proposed. In the PCMOM method, a topology optimization strategy based on a multi-port network model is introduced, enabling the formation of antennas with various topological structures. Furthermore, we integrate the constraint of return loss performance into the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), eliminating solutions that do not meet performance requirements. Three patch antennas are designed using the PCMOM method and two of them are fabricated. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed PCMOM method can effectively address the complex trade-off issues in antenna miniaturization design.
