摘要
This article is a tutorial on using genetic algorithms to optimize antenna and scattering patterns. Genetic algorithms are ''global'' numerical-optimization methods, patterned after the natural processes of genetic recombination and evolution. The algorithms encode each parameter into binary sequences, called a gene, and a set of genes is a chromosome. These chromosomes undergo natural selection, mating, and mutation, to arrive at the final optimal solution. After providing a detailed explanation of how a genetic algorithm works, and a listing of a MATLAB code, the article presents three examples. These examples demonstrate how to optimize antenna patterns and backscattering radar-cross-section patterns. Finally, additional details about algorithm design are given.
