Compact wearable microstrip antenna design using hybrid quasi-Newton and Taguchi optimization.

ABSTRACT: A novel approach is introduced for designing a miniaturized wearable antenna. Utilizing Taguchi's philosophy typically entails numerous experimentations runs, but our method significantly reduces these by employing a quasi-Newton approach with gradient descent to estimate process parameter ranges. This hybrid technique expedites convergence by streamlining experiments. Additionally, the Taguchi array ensures a balanced design, equalizing factor weights. Unlike conventional Taguchi methods, which risk trapping optimized results at local minima with increased repetitions, our modified technique mitigates this issue by adjusting level differences, aiming for global minima. Antenna design often involves competing objectives, such as size, impedance matching, cross-polarization, directivity, an
