Abstract :
Exploring the vast search space of possible wire antenna designs is a task well-suited for genetic algorithms. Many of the current implementations use a direct mapping between genome and antenna feature. We explore the evolution of antennas using a growth process. The design of wire antennas for communication applications demonstrates the capabilities of this approach
