Summary:
This paper introduces a topology optimization method for the structural design of multiband broadband Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs)[5], based on time domain analysis using the FDTD method. Moreover, structural mechanics and fabrication constraints are simultaneously considered in order to obtain manufacturable and self supporting antenna design.
