Abstract :
A new optimization technique to shape a reflector antenna surface is presented. The surface is modeled by Hermite splines, which allow better control of the deformations. The simulated annealing global optimization algorithm is employed to achieve good designs in a moderate time without previous information of the function to minimize.
