Please Help! genetic Algorithms in the Optimization of Patch Antenna Arrays

[thesisofantenna]

Hi everybody!

I need help for my thesis. I work on genetic Algorithms in the Optimization of Patch Antenna Arrays. First, I must design patch antenna array in CST Microwave Studio. Then I must write Matlab code for optimization. I don't know, how I can do it. So I want to help. (I have limited time for this project.)

P.S. My english isn't very good, so may I can't explain my project. If you ask quastion about details of the project, I will try to answering.

Hi thesisofantenna,

Here is the list of items you should know.

1- Designing a Patch Antenna
2- CST Suit Studio
3- Genetic Algorithm

Which item do you know about?

 

[thesisofantenna]

patch antenna ok. CST ok. But third item I don't know.

I see.

If you are familiar with MATLAB, you may not have any problem with "Genetic Algorithm".

Actually MATLAB comes with a toolbox for optimization and it has already the function "ga" which works based on genetic algorithm theory. The only important parameter needed for this function is the definition of your optimization problem.

It means that you should find a mathematical equation which relates physical parameters of your patch antenna (like dimension, material) to electrical parameters (like gain, HPBW, RL). Indeed this is the challenge and main issue in your case.
