D. Karaboga et al., A NEW EFFECTIVE SIDE LENGTH EXPRESSION OBTAINED USING A MODIFIED TABUSEARCH ALGORITHM FOR THE RESONANT-FREQUENCY OF A TRIANGULAR MICROSTRIP ANTENNA, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RF AND MICROWAVE COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING, 8(1), 1998, pp. 4-10
A new, very simple curve-fitting expression for the effective side len
gth is presented for the resonant frequency of triangular microstrip a
ntennas. Ht is obtained using a modified tabu sc arch algorithm, and i
s useful for the Computer-aided design (CPD) Of microstrip antennas. T
he theoretical resonant frequency results obtained using this new effe
ctive side length expression are in very good agreement with the exper
imental results available in the literature. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Son
