Abstract
Differential Evolution (DE) is a popular evolutionary algorithm that has been applied to several antenna design problems. However, DE is best suited for continuous search spaces. Therefore, in order to apply it to combinatorial optimization problems for antenna design a binary version of the DE algorithm has to be used. In this chapter, the author presents a design technique based on Novel Binary DE (NBDE). The main benefit of NBDE is reserving the DE updating strategy to binary space. This chapter presents results from design cases that include array thinning, phased array design with discrete phase shifters, and conformal array design with discrete excitations based on NBDE.
