Abstract
With the rise in wireless data communications, it is increasingly important that antennas be able to deliver as strong and consistent a signal as possible to a receiver. The evolvable antenna system in this paper shows that an evolutionary algorithm and a reconfigurable antenna can be used to optimize received signal strength in "real" surroundings and outperform a conventional antenna.
