An E-shape patch antenna is designed and demonstrated their effectiveness using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), which is used for wireless applications. The concept of PSO is briefly introduced in the design procedure and the design parameters are explained. This work focuses on identifying the increasing popularity of swarm intelligence specifically among the electromagnetic community. It is implemented using PSO combined with numerical algorithms for electromagnetic solutions, such as the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Method of Moments (MOM). In both the realizations, the PSO technique drives the design variables such as antenna dimensions and geometrical features. The fitness function is evaluated for the optimizer. This is achieved by using CAD FEKO 6.1, electromagnetic simulation software. The model is designed with a resonant frequency of 2.65GHz.
