Survey of particle swarm optimization algorithm and its applications in antenna circuit

With the development of intelligent algorithms, particle swarm optimization (PSO) has become the hot spot for the study on objective optimization in recent years. PSO has many successful scientific and engineering applications. In this paper, a detail review of the basic concepts of PSO is provided. Several important ways to improve PSO is presented. Moreover, the theoretical analyses on PSO are provided. Finally, the applications in antenna circuit of PSO and its future challenging field are also pointed out in the remainder of this paper.
