Abstract
This paper compares the application of genetic algorithms and traditional gradient-based algorithms to various optimization problems in electromagnetics. Gradient algorithms work well for a small number of continuous parameters. Genetic algorithms are best for a large number of quantized parameters. Both antenna array and scattering optimization examples are shown
