Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid mono/multiobjective optimization approach based on numerical, statistical, and fitness evaluation concerning the conductor positions in a transmission line excitation chamber (TLEC). The field profile and the related indexes of merit, as well as statistical ones, regarding the working volumes (WVs) are used to evaluate the chamber configuration performance. The compromise between WV and E -field, constrained by the E -field standard deviation, is shown through Pareto´s front. An index of merit based on area calculation under Pareto´s front is defined and used for transmission line set comparison.
