Optimization of mobile phone antennas using generic algorithms and network parallelization

In this study, Genetic Algorithms (GA) [1] in conjunction with network parallelization technique are utilized for the design and optimization of mobile phone antennas in a CAD derived environment. On the basis of a commercial mobile phone CAD model, three types of internally embedded multi-band antenna are designed and optimized within a fixed volume. Through the use of network parallelization, optimization time can be significantly reduced.
