Abstract
Plentiful applications of evolutionary algorithm (EA) to antenna design have formed a new hot research topic - evolutionary antenna. A novel antenna has been designed through EA in NASA Ames Research Center, and has been successfully applied in ST-5 mission [1]. It has represented the first evolved hardware in space, and the first deployed evolved antenna [1, 2]. We present a mathematical model and an algorithmic model for the evolutionary antenna, according to the requirements for the ST-5 antenna and the characteristics of NEC2. And also we show the experiment results and make a conclusion.
