A dynamic evolutionary algorithm and its application in automated antenna design

Published: 12 June 2009 Publication History

Abstract

An X-band antenna has been designed for NASA's Space Technology 5 (ST5) spacecraft by using genetic algorithm. It had been deployed on schedule on March 22-June 30 2006 and became the first evolved hardware in space. It is known that antenna design is a complicated optimization problem with many constraints. In this paper, we take a different way to solve antenna problems: A dynamic evolutionary algorithm (DEA) is designed for solving general constrained optimization problems and well tested by a kit of benchmark constrained problems firstly. Then the algorithm is used to solve antenna design problems.Simulation results are quite promising. Our evolved antennas are quite competitive with NASA's. The algorithm will be applied in real antenna design in our future work.
