Abstract :
We present an application of GA to the synthesis of an active phased array antenna for a geostationary satellite. The problem consists in finding the control coefficients (in terms of amplitude and phase) to be applied on each radiating element to obtain a desired coverage on the Earth. The technological and operational constraints could be taken into account.
