Abstract

In general, Metasurface Antennas (MSA) are designed to diminish the antenna shape by enhancing the operating band and directivity. As the efficiency decreases, the design complexity of MSA increases. In order to enhance the antenna design, a high-gain MSA is designed using the hybrid African Vulture's Optimization Algorithm (AVOA), and the Capuchin Search Algorithm (CapSA) is used for Radio Frequency (RF) energy harvesting. The dimensions of the designed antenna are \(1.66\lambda_{0} \times 1.25\lambda_{0} \times 0.02\lambda_{0}\) with a resonating frequency of 5 GHz. To design the high gain MSA, the proposed Hybrid African Vulture’s Optimization and Capuchin Search Algorithm (Hyb-AVOA-CapSA) is used to enhance the antenna parameters such as radiation efficiency, Bandwidth, gain, and return loss. Therefore, the proposed MSA design has achieved high efficiency and profit. Finally, the simulation has done on HFSS19 and ADS2020 version software; and evaluated using MATLAB. The proposed antenna gives a better efficiency of 70.12%, and resonate at 1.5 GHz of the axial ratio bandwidth at 5 GHz resonant frequency. The gain of the proposed antenna has increased from 6.86 to 7.6 dBi. While examining the comparative outcomes, the proposed approach has attained 22.4%, 23.7% high gain, and 18.85%, 12.6% lower return loss than the compared methods. Thus, the designed MSA is applied in RF energy harvesting applications because of its compact, low-profile, and simple structure. The Rectenna design uses a voltage doubler circuit at the receiver end and produces 5.55 V.
