  • Genetic algorithm (GA) is a popular optimization technique used in the design of performance improved microstrip patch antennas (MPAs). The fitness function plays a vital role in the successful application of GA in MPAs.  This paper investigates the performance of several fitness functions for achieving bandwidth improved MPAs.
