Miniaturized multi-band antenna via element collocation

It has been shown coplanar elements can be co-located in the reactive near-field of another antenna while providing excellent directivity and absolute gain in excess of 6 dBi while maintaining an acceptable impedance match. In this work, a script was written in the Python programming language to modify various geometrical parameters and submit the structure to simulation by the Agilent Electromagnetic Professional finite element method with a total optimization cycle of over 500 separate simulations. A further investigation into the incorporation of additional 10.05 and 24.15 GHz radiators in the same surface area is ongoing.
