GENETIC ANTENNA OPTIMIZATION

There, I got it out.

Hi Dan,

Hear the one about the constipated antenna designer?
He worked it out with a smith chart.

GA algorithms in this field are used by those with too much money, or
too much time on their hands, or both.

Experience generally trumps the quality of these computational hungry
products. You can search NASA for its recent GA generated antennas
(offered as a new thread some several months ago). They make nice
modern art designs, but it is arguable the effort was worth the
outcome.
