A novel design procedure based on the integration of full wave FEA and the SIMP design method employing SLP for the optimization was introduced. The capability was demonstrated by achieving a 250% BW improvement for a probe fed patch antenna through design of only the dielectric substrate while size was kept constant. Thus, the design was filtered and solidified to achieve a manufacturable state.
