Abstract
This paper reflects on the design and optimization of patch antennas. Two different methods were conducted. First, optimization was carried out over the whole antenna extension. Second, half antenna was optimized, and the final design was obtaining by reflection. The optimization process was conducted using genetic algorithm, return loss was obtained with full wave finite-differences time-domain, and the initial configuration (design) was obtained with line transmission and cavite method. All methods implemented in-house software. The antennas were designed to operate in Ku band with the center frequency at 16 GHz. Antenna with return greater than 22 dB and bandwidth between 2-5 GHz were obtained. The effectiveness of the proposed designs was confirmed through proper simulation results. Such optimization would aim to make a communication system more robust to electronic warfare attacks.
