Comparison between multi-zone and multi-layer scheme for RAM design using GA

A genetic algorithm (GA) has been successfully used in the design of the radar absorbing materials with multi-layer configurations. A newly developed multi-zone scheme (MZS) can bring us a better absorbing performance than the multi-layer scheme (MLS) does. Good agreement between expected results and physical measurement indicate that this method is powerful and promising. Comparisons between these two schemes are presented in this article and some examples are given to verify the effectiveness of MZS.
