Abstract :
A novel antenna design is proposed and applied to overcome the narrowband characteristics of the monopole antenna by loading it with lumped elements. The loads can enhance the antenna characteristics to yield high gain and low VSWR by modifying the current distribution. The genetic algorithm (GA) is used to perform optimization. The results certify, the GA efficiently optimizes the load values, their respective locations and the matching network elements
