Paper Summary: Antenna Design with Evolutionary Algorithms (opens in new tab)

This is a summary of Automated Antenna Design with Evolutionary Algorithms, a 2006 paper by Hornby et al. As large language models become more and more synonymous with “AI”, it is interesting to see how researchers solved problems in the past. Typically, antennas are designed and built by hand by domain experts. This is a very time-consuming process, however, so researchers have been investigating evolutionary algorithms since the 1990s. Inspired by natural evolution, an evolutionary algorith...
