Abstract
This paper presents the application of genetic algorithms in the optimization of an offset reflector antenna. The antenna shape is designed in order to obtain a uniform radiation pattern on the Brazilian territory. Modified genetic operators are proposed with the aim to increase the efficiency of the real coded genetic algorithms used here.
