Abstract :
Genetic optimization has been used in the last years for solving different electromagnetic problems. However, this technique assumes, and binary-codes, a fixed structure from the beginning, so it has a limited use in antenna design. On the other hand, Genetic Programming is able to determine the antenna shape as an outcome of the procedure. This work describes how to use genetic programming to design wire antennas. The performances of each antenna generated by the genetic programming during the optimization process are evaluated by a standard method of moments code, NEC-2.
