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.
