  • Abstract
    Experimental design of a FICA antenna is presented. The FICA antenna is first simulated using the FDTD method for selected factors which may affect the performance of the antenna. The most sensitive factors and their interactive effects are identified by using the design of experiments (DOE) technique. In addition, the estimate formulations of the output parameters for characterizing antenna performance are given by using the DOE results. The output parameters are finally optimized by the particle swarm method and the optimization design is verified by the FDTD simulation.
