About This Book

A thorough and insightful introduction to using genetic algorithms to optimize electromagnetic systems

Genetic Algorithms in Electromagnetics focuses on optimizing the objective function when a computer algorithm, analytical model, or experimental result describes the performance of an electromagnetic system. It offers expert guidance to optimizing electromagnetic systems using genetic algorithms (GA), which have proven to be tenacious in finding optimal results where traditional techniques fail.

Genetic Algorithms in Electromagnetics begins with an introduction to optimization and several commonly used numerical optimization routines, and goes on to feature:

  • Introductions to GA in both binary and continuous variable forms, complete with examples of MATLAB(r) commands
  • Two step-by-step examples of optimizing antenna arrays as well as a comprehensive overview of applications of GA to antenna array design problems
  • Coverage of GA as an adaptive algorithm, including adaptive and smart arrays as well as adaptive reflectors and crossed dipoles
  • Explanations of the optimization of several different wire antennas, starting with the famous "crooked monopole"
  • How to optimize horn, reflector, and microstrip patch antennas, which require significantly more computing power than wire antennas
  • Coverage of GA optimization of scattering, including scattering from frequency selective surfaces and electromagnetic band gap materials
  • Ideas on operator and parameter selection for a GA
  • Detailed explanations of particle swarm optimization and multiple objective optimization
  • An appendix of MATLAB code for experimentation

How do I cancel my subscription?
Simply head over to the account section in settings and click on “Cancel Subscription” - it’s as simple as that. After you cancel, your membership will stay active for the remainder of the time you’ve paid for. Learn more here.
Can/how do I download books?
At the moment all of our mobile-responsive ePub books are available to download via the app. Most of our PDFs are also available to download and we're working on making the final remaining ones downloadable now. Learn more here.
What is the difference between the pricing plans?
Both plans give you full access to the library and all of Perlego’s features. The only differences are the price and subscription period: With the annual plan you’ll save around 30% compared to 12 months on the monthly plan.
What is Perlego?
We are an online textbook subscription service, where you can get access to an entire online library for less than the price of a single book per month. With over 1 million books across 1000+ topics, we’ve got you covered! Learn more here.
Do you support text-to-speech?
Look out for the read-aloud symbol on your next book to see if you can listen to it. The read-aloud tool reads text aloud for you, highlighting the text as it is being read. You can pause it, speed it up and slow it down. Learn more here.
Is Genetic Algorithms in Electromagnetics an online PDF/ePUB?
Yes, you can access Genetic Algorithms in Electromagnetics by Randy L. Haupt, Douglas H. Werner in PDF and/or ePUB format, as well as other popular books in Physical Sciences & Electromagnetism. We have over one million books available in our catalogue for you to explore.
