A novel expression for resonant length obtained by using artificial bee colony algorithm in calculating resonant frequency of C-shaped compact microstrip antennas

This paper presents a novel and simple expression for resonant length to calculate the resonant frequency of C-shaped compact microstrip antennas operating on UHF band applications. C-shaped compact microstrip antennas with different physical dimensions and electrical parameters were simulated by means of a software package that employs the method of finite difference time domain. With the aid of the artificial bee colony algorithm, an expression for the resonant length depending on physical dimensions was constructed by using simulation data. The resonant length expression provided less than 1.6% error on average over the simulated 144 antennas. A comparison between the results obtained in this work and previous results presented in the literature is given to show the accuracy of the proposed expression.

UHF band applications in which small size is required. The resonant frequencies resulting from the formulation presented in this work were compared with the simulation results and also with results obtained from the previous method reported in the literature. The proposed expression is easy to compute and will oﬀer the design engineer an accurate estimation of resonant frequency. J.Q. Howell, “Microstrip antennas”, IEEE Trans.
