Optimization of microstrip patch antenna

Frank Asiamah

How to optimize a microstrip patch antenna. Any guidelines on how to use OPTFEKO. I am not able to understand how it is used even from the example and user guide.

I need the whole concept of optimization and OPTFEKO.

I am not getting the desire resonant frequency 1.57542 GHz, axial ratio (antenna is RHCP) and even Gain.

Kindly, help me out as to do in general as well

Hi @Frank Asiamah ,

As you have mentioned, the user guide contains a full chapter about optimisation in FEKO where all the steps of the general workflow are detailed:

In the example guide you also have example A.6 and H.4 that also show optimisation. You can load the models of these examples in CADFEKO from Home > Scripting group > Application Macro > Example guide > choose corresponding model.

If you need support with a given step, please share in more details so that we can assist accordingly.

Additionally, if you would like to share your model, I can have a look at it.

Best,

Zeina
