Printed-circuit patch antennas have been one of the most significant research topic in microwave communication due to their applicability in various domains like seismic data collection and natural resources exploration etc. This paper presents the crux of an elaborate comparative study of different design patterns of circular micro-strip patch antennas with and without geometric slots. A further performance enhancement is suggested by the results obtained by Genetic Algorithm in finding the feed position and impedance matching of the antenna designs. The results obtained from the simulations done in OpenEMS(FDTD method) integrated with MATLAB environment lead to the antenna designs suitable for application in Sat Com, GPS, RADAR, RFID with improved antenna performance in terms of reduced return loss and wide band width.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
