Pages 291-299 | Published online: 03 Apr 2012
 

Abstract

Simulated annealing (SA) is a stochastic global optimization technique, which has been used successfully for optimization of antenna arrays. In this paper, the use of SA for optimization of gain, impedance and bandwidth of the Yagi-Uda antenna has been presented. To evaluate the performance of designs, a method of moments code NEC2 has been used. Comparative results indicate superiority of using SA over other methods.
