A Genetic Algorithm for Satellite Antennas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783639084245)

What is known as the Darwin Theory of Evolution is a simple principle: species evolve by means of random changes and natural selection to adapt to a specific environment. The basic idea behind Genetic Algorithms (GA) is to imitate the way in which nature works in order to design a system with desired characteristics (the environment). This book gives an introduction to GA and describes how to implement a GA-based optimisation method to design a complex antenna for satellite applications. It's the perfect initiation to mathematical optimisation and GA for any antenna engineer, with a wide review of optimisation methods, a practical example of GA implementation, and a rich appen-dix with Matlab code.
