TL;DR: This book explores the meta-heuristics approach called tabu search, which is dramatically changing the authors' ability to solve a host of problems that stretch over the realms of resource planning, telecommunications, VLSI design, financial analysis, scheduling, spaceplanning, energy distribution, molecular engineering, logistics, pattern classification, flexible manufacturing, waste management,mineral exploration, biomedical analysis, environmental conservation and scores of other problems.
Abstract: From the Publisher:
This book explores the meta-heuristics approach called tabu search, which is dramatically changing our ability to solve a hostof problems that stretch over the realms of resource planning,telecommunications, VLSI design, financial analysis, scheduling, spaceplanning, energy distribution, molecular engineering, logistics,pattern classification, flexible manufacturing, waste management,mineral exploration, biomedical analysis, environmental conservationand scores of other problems. The major ideas of tabu search arepresented with examples that show their relevance to multipleapplications. Numerous illustrations and diagrams are used to clarifyprinciples that deserve emphasis, and that have not always been wellunderstood or applied. The book's goal is to provide ''hands-on' knowledge and insight alike, rather than to focus exclusively eitheron computational recipes or on abstract themes. This book is designedto be useful and accessible to researchers and practitioners inmanagement science, industrial engineering, economics, and computerscience. It can appropriately be used as a textbook in a masterscourse or in a doctoral seminar. Because of its emphasis on presentingideas through illustrations and diagrams, and on identifyingassociated practical applications, it can also be used as asupplementary text in upper division undergraduate courses.
Finally, there are many more applications of tabu search than canpossibly be covered in a single book, and new ones are emerging everyday. The book's goal is to provide a grounding in the essential ideasof tabu search that will allow readers to create successfulapplications of their own. Along with the essentialideas,understanding of advanced issues is provided, enabling researchers togo beyond today's developments and create the methods of tomorrow.

TL;DR: In this article, a brief overview of the basic characteristics of microstrip antennas is given, and the most significant developments in microstrip antenna technology have been made in the last several years.
Abstract: Microstrip antennas have been one of the most innovative topics in antenna theory and design in recent years, and are increasingly finding application in a wide range of modern microwave systems. This paper begins with a brief overview of the basic characteristics of microstrip antennas, and then concentrates on the most significant developments in microstrip antenna technology that have been made in the last several years. Emphasis is on new antenna configurations for improved electrical performance and manufacturability and on advances in the analytical modeling of microstrip antennas and arrays. >

TL;DR: This paper gives a basic review and a summary of recent developments for leaky-wave antennas (LWAs), a guiding structure that supports wave propagation along the length of the structure, with the wave radiating or “leaking” continuously along the structure.
Abstract: This paper gives a basic review and a summary of recent developments for leaky-wave antennas (LWAs). An LWA uses a guiding structure that supports wave propagation along the length of the structure, with the wave radiating or “leaking” continuously along the structure. Such antennas may be uniform, quasi-uniform, or periodic. After reviewing the basic physics and operating principles, a summary of some recent advances for these types of structures is given. Recent advances include structures that can scan to endfire, structures that can scan through broadside, structures that are conformal to surfaces, and structures that incorporate power recycling or include active elements. Some of these novel structures are inspired by recent advances in the metamaterials area.

TL;DR: In this paper, a high gain planar antenna with an optimized partially reflecting surface (PRS) placed in front of a waveguide aperture in a ground plane was investigated, where the antenna performance was initially related to the reflection characteristics of the PRS array following an approximate analysis.
Abstract: A high gain planar antenna has been investigated, using an optimised partially reflecting surface (PRS) placed in front of a waveguide aperture in a ground plane. The antenna performance is initially related to the reflection characteristics of the PRS array following an approximate analysis. The array geometry is optimised using an analytical formula. The optimisation results are verified using a full wave model taking into account the edge effects. The array size for maximum antenna efficiency has also been investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on circularly polarized antennas and provided key definitions and governing equations of circular polarization, and extended the concept to the magnetic source counterparts and Huygens sources.
Abstract: This chapter is focused on circularly polarized antennas. Key definitions and governing equations of circular polarization are given. Infinitesimal dipole sources are considered to establish circularly polarized radiation. First, radiation patterns of cross dipoles are mathematically reviewed, from which the condition of circularly polarized waves is concluded. Later, the idea is extended to four displaced sequentially rotated dipole antennas, resulting in circularly polarized waves within a wide angular range in space. The extension of the concept to the magnetic source counterparts and Huygens sources is briefly discussed. Other than point sources, also known as one-dimensional current sources, sources of circularly polarized radiation are further investigated for two-dimensional cases, such as microstrip patch antennas, and threedimensional structures, such as volumetric current sources existing in dielectric resonator antennas. For these cases, the creation of circularly polarized radiation using single-feed and dual-feed, perturbed structures and sequentially rotated method is described. As a design example, numerical andmeasurement results of circularly polarized square patch ring antennas are extensively discussed and presented in this chapter. The square-ring microstrip antenna is selected as it closely approximates the sequentially rotated currents, and also it has not been widely studied in the literature.
