Optimal RF design using smart evolutionary algorithms

Recommendations

Using holey fitness landscapes to counteract premature convergence in evolutionary algorithms
GECCO '08: Proceedings of the 10th annual conference companion on Genetic and evolutionary computation

Premature convergence is a persisting problem in evolutionary optimisation, in particular - genetic algorithms. While a number of methods exist to approach this issue, they usually require problem specific calibration or only partially resolve the issue,...
Analytical method for optimal design of RF dual-band rat-race couplers for arbitrary frequency ratios

This article presents an analytical method to design a hybrid structure dual-band rat-race coupler at microwave frequencies. The proposed structure uses six identical cells of which each is engineered to work as a quarter wavelength transmission line ...
Monolithic reconfigurable bandstop filter using RF MEMS switches
RF Applications of MEMS and Micromachining

A monolithic, low-power reconfigurable bandstop filter operating at 8, 10, 13, and 15 GHz that utilizes RF MEMS switches has been developed on high-resisitivity silicon substrate. The filter is based on microstrip transmission lines with radial stubs ...
