Keywords:
Broad-band antennas, data mining, phased array, shorting postsAbstract
Novel synthesis procedure, exploiting data mining technique for antenna design is presented. By utilizing data mining, investigating various combinations of a typical antenna configuration, all together, is feasible and this fact allows the selection of the specific design which possesses the desired properties. In this paper, a broad-band and wide scanning angle probe-fed microstrip patch array element with shorting posts is designed based on this procedure. For achieving acceptable bandwidth, scan angle and polarization, the coordination positions and the number of the incorporated shorting posts were considered as the design parameters. For a substrate with a thickness of 0.05?0, the simulation results show a 15% frequency bandwidth with a scanning range of 70? in the main E, H and D-planes.
