Evolutionary Optimization of Yagi-Uda Antennas
Yagi-Uda antennas are known to be difficult to design and optimize due to their sensitivity at high gain, and the inclusion of numerous parasitic elements. We present a genetic algorithm-based automated antenna optimization system that uses a fixed Yagi-Uda topology and a byte-encoded antenna representation. The fitness calculation allows the implicit relationship between power gain and sidelob...
متن کاملEvolutionary Optimization of Quadrifilar Helical and Yagi-Uda Antennas
We present optimization results obtained for two type of antennas using evolutionary algorithms. A quadrifilar helical UHF antenna is currently flying aboard NASA’s Mars Odyssey spacecraft and is due to reach final Martian orbit insertion in January, 2002. Using this antenna as a benchmark, we ran experiments employing a coevolutionary genetic algorithm to evolve a quadrifilar helical design in...
متن کاملOptical Antennas
Optical antennas are an emerging concept in physical optics. Similar to radiowave and microwave antennas, their purpose is to convert the energy of free propagating radiation to localized energy, and vice versa. Optical antennas exploit the unique properties of metal nanostructures, which behave as strongly coupled plasmas at optical frequencies. The tutorial provides an account of the historic...
متن کاملOptimization of Helical Antennas
Helical antennas have been known for a long time, but the literature is overwhelmed with controversial information about their performance. We have systematically investigated helical antennas located above an infinite ground plane and obtained design curves. We have also observed that the shape and size of the ground conductor have influence on the helical antenna performance. By optimizing th...
متن کاملResonant optical antennas.
We have fabricated nanometer-scale gold dipole antennas designed to be resonant at optical frequencies. On resonance, strong field enhancement in the antenna feed gap leads to white-light supercontinuum generation. The antenna length at resonance is considerably shorter than one-half the wavelength of the incident light. This is in contradiction to classical antenna theory but in qualitative ac...
