Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of fractal antenna engineering research

TL;DR: Fractal antenna engineering has been primarily focused in two areas: the first deals with the analysis and design of fractal antenna elements, and the second concerns the application of Fractal concepts to the design of antenna arrays as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Particle swarm optimization versus genetic algorithms for phased array synthesis

TL;DR: The particle swarm optimizer shares the ability of the genetic algorithm to handle arbitrary nonlinear cost functions, but with a much simpler implementation it clearly demonstrates good possibilities for widespread use in electromagnetic optimization.
Book

Genetic Algorithms in Electromagnetics

TL;DR: This chapter discusses Optimization in Electromagnetics, which involves designing and implementing a Genetic Algorithm to Optimize Array Element Spacing and Results-Volumetric Reconfi gurable Wire Antenna Design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fractal antenna engineering: the theory and design of fractal antenna arrays

TL;DR: Some important properties of fractal arrays are introduced, including the frequency-independent multi-band characteristics, schemes for realizing low-sidelobe designs, systematic approaches to thinning, and the ability to develop rapid beam-forming algorithms by exploiting the recursive nature of fractals.
Journal ArticleDOI

The design synthesis of multiband artificial magnetic conductors using high impedance frequency selective surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce several different design methodologies for multiband artificial magnetic conducting (AMC) surfaces, based on the introduction of FSS screens that have fractal or nearly fractal unit cell geometries.
