Abstract
Genetic algorithms have been shown to be effective in the design and optimization of many types of antenna. In this paper, we show how genetic algorithm antenna research at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has been applied to a real-world problem - the re-design of the DISS transmit antenna. We present a brief background of the problem, describe our optimization goals and constraints, and compare the existing antenna performance to an LPDA-augmented hybrid antenna and a genetically-optimized hybrid antenna.
