Karaboğa, D.Güney, K.Kaplan, A.Akdağli, A.2016-02-082016-02-0819981096-4290http://hdl.handle.net/11693/25511A new, very simple curve-fitting expression for the effective side length is presented for the resonant frequency of triangular microstrip antennas. It is obtained using a modified tabu search algorithm, and is useful for the computer-aided design (CAD) of microstrip antennas. The theoretical resonant frequency results obtained using this new effective side length expression are in very good agreement with the experimental results available in the literature.EnglishEffective side lengthMicrostrip antennaOptimizationResonant frequencyTabu search algorithmTriangularAlgorithmsComputer aided designCurve fittingNatural frequenciesOptimizationEffective side lengthTabu search algorithmMicrostrip antennasA new effective side length expression obtained using a modified tabu search algorithm for the resonant frequency of a triangular microstrip antennaArticle10.1002/(SICI)1099-047X(199801)8:1<4::AID-MMCE2>3.0.CO;2-R
