Wearable 5-Gigahertz Wi-Fi Antenna Design Using Whale Optimization Algorithm

In this paper, we design an antenna for wearable wireless applications. The proposed antenna is a planar inverted- F antenna (PIFA) for operation at 5 GHz. The antenna design procedure is accomplished using a new nature inspired algorithm, the Whale optimization Algorithm. Numerical results exhibit the applicability and validity of the proposed design framework.
