AnIMAGE: A MATLAB-based tool for generating microstrip antennas with complex shapes

AnIMAGE is a MATLAB-based software tool that empowers designers to create microstrip antennas with complex shapes, enhancing their performance and expanding design possibilities. With its user-friendly interface, the software simplifies the design process and streamlines it by automating calculations. Furthermore, it offers the functionality to export the shapes of the images, enabling CST Studio to simulate their electromagnetic behavior effectively. By leveraging AnIMAGE, designers gain the capability to fabricate antennas with complex forms, such as fractals or structures derived from photographs. As a valuable resource for antenna designers, AnIMAGE introduces innovative approaches to the development of complex microstrip antennas.& COPY; 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
