Description: In a partially random antenna layout, and use a genetic algorithm to evolve a better solution. This approach has been used by NASA and others to design spacecraft antennas. A 2.4 GHz microwave antenna will be designed automatically using a genetic algorithm and the NEC2 simulation package. The initial steps will be to try to design a simple dipole antenna using this method (as the number of variables will be small), followed by an extension to NASA antennas with a larger number of design parameters.
