Abstract

Dual-polarized (DP) microstrip antennas are utilized in wireless systems for efficient data transmission. However, their bandwidth is typically very limited. In this contribution, we propose to design DP microstrip antennas with enhanced bandwidth using a density-based topology optimization approach. We formulate an optimization problem that simultaneously accounts for feeding port matching, the ports'isolation, and far-field dual-polarized performance. To enhance the bandwidth, we employ an FR4 stack-up, in which the copper on two layers is optimized simultaneously. We present two antenna designs operating around 5.7 GHz, which show a compromise in performance between a high isolation (more than 40 dB) and enhanced impedance bandwidth (around 10%). The optimized designs are experimentally validated, showing an excellent agreement between the simulated and measured performance.
