Abstract
In order to meet the design requirements of a wide bandwidth, wide beam four-branch microwave antenna, evolution algorithms and orthogonal experiment are combined for the design simulation of the microwave antenna design. The evolution algorithm is able to search the large space for the optimal solution, while the orthogonal experimental design can search local space further and refine it for even better solution. The former algorithm is executed parallelly, and the NEC2 software based on method of moments is used as numerical calculation method of electromagnetic field. The four-branch antenna which is designed by combining the method of the evolution algorithm with orthogonal experiment in this paper, performs excellent on pattern. This proves that this method can satisfy the design requirements.
