Abstract

Antennas are considered as a significant component in any wireless system. There are numerous factors and constraints that affect its design. Therefore, recently several algorithms are developed to allow the designers optimize the antenna with respect to numerous different criteria, general constraints and the desired performance characteristics. In recent years there has been an increasing attention to some novel evolutionary techniques, such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Bacteria-Foraging (BF), Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO), and Differential Evolution (DE) that used for antenna optimization. The current study discussed three popular population-based meta-heuristic algorithms for optimal antenna design and direction of arrival estimation. Basically, single and multi-objective population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are included. Besides hybrid methods are highlighted. This paper reviews antenna array design optimization as well as direction of arrival optimization problem for different antennas configurations.
