In this paper the design issues of compact genetic microstrip antennas for mobile
applications has been investigated. The antennas designed using Genetic Algorithms
(GA) have an arbitrary shape and occupies less area (compact) compared to the
traditionally designed antenna for the same frequency but with poor performance. An
attempt has been made to improve the performance of the genetic microstrip antenna by
optimizing the ground plane (GP) to have a fish bone like structure. The genetic antenna
with the GP optimized is even better compared to the traditional and the genetic antenna.
