Antenna design by using MOEA/D-based optimization techniques

Recent progress in design of antenna and antenna array by using MOEA/D-based optimization techniques in our group is summarized. We first give a brief introduction to framework of MOEA/D and several MOEA/D-based variants, including modified MOEA/D-DE (MOEA/D combined with differential evolution), MOEA/D-GO (MOEA/D combined with enhanced genetic operators), MOEA/D-GO-II (enhanced MOEA/D-GO), MOEA/D-SL (MOEA/D combined with statistic location information), and MOEA/D-IOO (MOEA/D combined with inverse onion operator). Then we report several antenna design examples in USTC, including designs of multi-band antenna, dielectric-loaded circularly-polarized wideband antenna, distributed UHF RFID reader antenna, versatile fragment-type RFID tag antenna, fragment-type isolation structure for MIMO antennas, and pattern synthesis of compact antenna array. More promising applications of MOEA/D-based optimization in antenna and microwave circuit design are expected.
