Evolving Wire Antennas Using Genetic Algorithms: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Communication, radar and remote sensing systems employ thousands of different types of wire antennas, and there is an increasing need for high-performance, customized antennas. Current methods of designing and optimizing them by hand using simulation or analysis are timeand labor-intensive, limit complexity, increase the cost and time expended, and require that antenna engineers have significant knowledge of the universe of antenna designs. Local optimization methods are not much better, since an initial guess that is close to the final design must be provided. Using a genetic algorithm (GA), it is possible to prescribe the desired performance of an antenna and allow the computer to find the parameters for the design. The GA does not require an initial guess, and the amount of design information the engineer must supply can be very minimal. This paper will present a review of a few wire antennas from previous publications [1-5] designed by GA for unconventional purposes. This approach has the potential to revolutionize antenna design.

متن کاملMulti-Objective Optimization of Wire Antennas: Genetic Algorithms Versus Particle Swarm Optimization
The paper is aimed to the multi-objective optimization of wire multi-band antennas. Antennas are numerically modeled using time-domain integral-equation method. That way, the designed antennas can be characterized in a wide band of frequencies within a single run of the analysis. Antennas are optimized to reach the prescribed matching, to exhibit the omni-directional constant gain and to have t...
متن کاملCoupling Effects and Performance of Loran Transmitter Antennas
It is known that if a conductor resides in the neighboring of an antenna with a small distance relative to the wavelength, it induces a reverse current on the conductor. This paper involves the unavoidable coupling effects on some common types of LF antennas, due to the large wavelength in this frequency band. In particular, after some discussions about top-loaded antennas, the coupling effect ...
متن کاملThe Design of Wire Antennas Using Genetic Algorithm Based On Sensitivity Analysis
-The problem of sensitivity in the wire antennas designed by genetic algorithm (GA) causes the results to be unfeasible to be constructed successfully. This problem is due to great variation of final objective (cost function) when the antenna has some physical variations. Moreover, these GA results are not reliable because of the fact that, usually cost functions of the well-done results show h...
