description A UWB E-plane omnidirectional microwave antenna is designed and fabricated for IEEE 802.11a communication system and microwave magnetron source system as a radiation monitor. A cooptimization method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and FDTD software is presented. The presented PSO algorithm is useful in many industrial microwave applications, such as microwave magnetron design and other techniques with a high power level. The maximum measured relative bandwidth of 65% is achieved for the proposed antenna after a rapid and efficient optimization. Furthermore, the measured antenna polarization purity reaches about 20 dB at the communication C band. The PSO algorithm is a powerful candidate for microwave passive component design.
