Abstract
An original theoretical approach for antenna optimization and design i s introduced in this paper. This method consists of coupling between t he FDTD method applied to the study of microstrip patch antennas and t he genetic algorithm (GA) as an optimization tool. A neural network al lows the computing time to be deceased by acting as a database, thus a voiding multiple calls to the FDTD code. The principle of this approac h is illustrated.
