Abstract

The three paradigms of the evolutionary algorithms, namely, Genetic Algorithms, Evolution Strategies and Evolutionary Programming, are briefly reviewed, and the applications of the latter to optimizations of continuous as well as mixed parameter electromagnetic problems are discussed in details. Examples presented include optimizations of corrugated horn antennas, array of multi-layered stacked microstrip patch elements, and synthesis of multi-layered dielectric filters.
