Abstract

An antenna performs the most important function in any communication system, this underscores the reason most researchers in the field of antenna design pay close attention to specifics in designing smart antennas. Radio on the other hand is a medium or channel through which information can be disseminated to the audience, to achieve this, an antenna is required. This paper presents a novel optimization based technique to design a smart antenna to meet the demands of both educational institutions and the broadcasting industry. There has been a paradigm shift from conventional antenna designs to smart antennas designs to meet the ever changing world of communication where end users demand high quality of service, and high connectivity, especially with the roll out of 5G wireless network and other evolving technologies. Optimization techniques can be leveraged when the available resources cannot be replaced. A case study of Search FM 92.3MHz FUT Minna has been carried out to address the poor signal coverage within Minna and environs.
