TLM modeling and system identification of optimized antenna structures

N. Fichtner, U. Siart, Y. Kuznetsov, A. Baev, and P. Russer

Abstract. The transmission line matrix (TLM) method in conjunction with the genetic algorithm (GA) is presented for the bandwidth optimization of a low profile patch antenna. The optimization routine is supplemented by a system identification (SI) procedure. By the SI the model parameters of the structure are estimated which is used for a reduction of the total TLM simulation time. The SI utilizes a new stability criterion of the physical poles for the parameter extraction.
