Abstract :
An empirical formula for the resonant frequency of bow-tie microstrip antennas is presented, which is based on the cavity model of microstrip patch antennas. A procedure to design a bow-tie antenna using a genetic algorithm (GA) in which we take the formula as a fitness function is also given. An optimized bow-tie antenna using the genetic algorithm was measured. Numerical and experimental results are used to validate the formula and GA. The results are in good agreement.
