%0 Journal Article %T Design of Short-Circuited Microstrip Antenna Using Differential Evolution Algorithm %A Arindam Deb %A Jibendu Sekhar Roy %A Bhaskar Gupta %J Microwave Review %D 2012 %I Society for Microwave Technique, Technologies and Systems, Serbia and Montenegro IEEE MTT-S Chapter %X Differential evolution (DE) algorithm is used to design a microstrip antenna, loaded with a shorting pin. The position of probe and the position of shorting pin are optimized using DE. The fitness function for DE is obtained using multiport network modelling technique. Antenna is fabricated and measured results are compared with the theoretical results. %K Differential algorithm %K Cavity analysis %K Microstrip antenna %K Short-circuited patch %U http://www.mtt-serbia.org.rs/microwave_review/pdf/Vol18No1_03_ADeb.pdf
