Özet

This paper investigates the performance of a novel artificial intelligence optimization technique in terms of designing a small size antenna that can be used for WLAN and WiMAX applications. In this regard, a boosted version of the arithmetic optimization algorithm is constructed as a novel artificial intelligence optimization technique with the aid of pattern search and elite opposition-based learning mechanisms. The proposed boosted arithmetic optimization algorithm is demonstrated for its superior explorative and exploitative behavior using classical fixed-dimensional, multimodal, and unimodal benchmark functions. The performance of the boosted arithmetic optimization algorithm is then presented for a real-world engineering optimization problem. For the latter challenge, a small size antenna that can be used for WLAN and WiMAX applications is designed. The obtained simulation results show that a compact small-sized patch antenna operating at WLAN and WiMAX frequencies can successfully be designed with the proposed boosted arithmetic optimization algorithm. Comparative evaluation against the state-of-the-art shows that efficiency is increased significantly since a bandwidth increase of up to 21% is achieved even with a more than 39% reduction in size.
