Due to stringent specifications, antennas for IoT devices are very complex to design. Thus, the need for antenna design exploration/optimization to achieve desired antenna performance in IoT applications. This paper presents a GUI software tool, called Antenna Design Explorer (ADE), for the design exploration/optimization of microwave antennas. Compared to available popular antenna design explorers, (e.g., CST Microwave Studio Optimizers, MATLAB optimizers), the advantages of ADE include: (1) 5-10 times efficiency improvement for full-wave EM simulation driven antenna optimization; (2) largely improved optimization capacity for high-performance antenna synthesis; (3) substantially improved usability considering the background of antenna engineers; and (4) general and no ad-hoc initial design is needed. Three real-world antenna design cases verify the above advantages.
