“…BFA and PSO are based on same philosophies and have found profound applications in various problems of optimization. The reason behind preferring them to GA is their inherent simplicity and use of cooperative knowledge compared to competitive mode in GA [4]. The two algorithms BFA and PSO are quite similar in approach with subtle differences.…”

The design of antenna array with desirable multiple performance parameters such as directivity, input impedance, beam width, and side-lobe level using any optimization algorithm is a highly challenging task. Bacteria Foraging Algorithm (BFA), as reported by electrical engineers, is the most robust and efficient algorithm in comparison with other presently available algorithms for global optimization of multi-objective, multi-parameter design problems. The objective of this article is to apply this new optimization technique, BFA, in the design of YagiUda array for multi-objective design parameters. We optimize length and spacing for 6 and 15 elements array to achieve higher directivity, pertinent input impedance, minimum 3-dB beam width, and maximum front to back ratio both in the E and H planes of the array. At first, we develop a Method of Moments code in MATLAB environment for the Yagi-Uda array structure for obtaining the above design parameters and then coupled with the BFA for the evaluation of the optimized design parameters. Detail simulation results are included to confirm the design criteria.

“…The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) is applied in [23] to optimize LPDAs for operation in the range 3-30 MHz under requirements for minimum SWR, maximum FG and minimum LPDA length. A particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed in [24] to design an optimal 10-element LPDA for operation in the range 450-1350 MHz under requirements that concern the average values of SWR, FG and FBR. In [25], an inverted-V LPDA is optimized in the range 6-30 MHz by using GAs under requirements that concern the values of SWR, FG and SLL, as well as the LPDA size.…”

Abstract-An optimal synthesis of a wideband Log-Periodic Dipole Array (LPDA) is introduced in the present study. The LPDA optimization is performed under several requirements concerning the standing wave ratio, the forward gain, the gain flatness, the front-to-back ratio and the side lobe level, over a wide frequency range. The LPDA geometry that complies with the above requirements is suitable for efficient multimedia content delivery. The optimization process is accomplished by applying a recently introduced method called Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO). The method has already been compared to other evolutionary methods and has shown superiority in solving complex non-linear problems in telecommunications and electromagnetics. In the present study, the IWO method has been chosen to optimize an LPDA for operation in the frequency range 800-3300 MHz. Due to its excellent performance, the LPDA can effectively be used for multimedia content reception over future mobile computing systems.

“…In [16], a multi-objective optimization is applied to LPDAs for operation in the range 3-30 MHz under requirements for minimum SWR, minimum antenna length and maximum gain by employing the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II). The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is applied in [17] for a 10-element LPDA operating in the range 450-1350 MHz under requirements for the average values of the gain, the F/B ratio and the SWR. A circular parasitic array of four 12-element LPDAs is optimized in [18] under constraints for gain close to 8dBi and minimum SWR in the range 3.1-10.6 GHz.…”

The Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) is an effective evolutionary and recently developed method. Due to its better performance in comparison to other well-known optimization methods, IWO has been chosen to solve many complex non-linear problems in telecommunications and electromagnetics. In the present study, the IWO is applied to optimize the geometry of a realistic log-periodic dipole array (LPDA) that operates in the frequency range 800-3300 MHz and therefore is suitable for signal reception from several RF services. The optimization is applied under specific requirements, concerning the standing wave ratio, the forward gain, the gain flatness and the side lobe level, over a wide frequency range. The optimization variables are the lengths and the radii of the dipoles, the distances between them, and the characteristic impedance of the transmission line that connects the dipoles. The optimized LPDA seems to be superior compared to the antenna derived from the practical design procedure.
