Abstract

In this paper, new planar spiral antennas with meander lines and loads for passive RFID tag application at UHF band are designed and optimized using the gbest-guided Artificial Bee Colony (GABC) algorithm. The GABC is an improved ABC algorithm, which includes global best (gbest) solution information into the search equation to improve the exploitation. The optimization goals are antenna size minimization, gain maximization, and conjugate matching. The antenna dimensions were optimized and evaluated in conjunction with FEKO. The optimization results produced show that GABC is a powerful optimization algorithm that can be efficiently applied to tag antenna design problems.
