Abstract

Radar absorbing materials (RAM) design for a desired frequency and angle range is presented. We evaluate the performance of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and differential evolution (DE) regarding their applicability to absorber design. The results show that the DE algorithm outer performs PSO variants.
