Electromagnetic Optimization by Genetic Algorithms is the first book devoted exclusively to the application of genetic algorithms to electric magnetic device design. Compiled by two highly competent and well-respected members of the electromagnetics community, this book describes numerous applications of genetic algorithms to the design and optimization of various low- and high-frequency electromagnetic components. Special features include:
  • Introduction by David E.Goldberg, "A Meditation on the Application of Genetic Algorithms"
  • Design of linear and planar arrays using genetic algorithms
  • Application of genetic algorithms to the design of broadband, wire, and integrated antennas
  • Genetic algorithm-driven design of dielectric gratings and frequency-selective surfaces
  • Synthesis of magnetostatic devices using genetic algorithms
  • Application of genetic algorithms to multiobjective electromagnetic backscattering optimization
  • A comprehensive list of the up- to-date references applicable to electromagnetic design problems
