Self-Optimizing Adaptive Antenna

Abstract

Currently, in dynamically changing and highly uncertain electronic warfare (EW) environments it is not possible to design in advance EW hardware that can adapt in real-time to these complex environments autonomously. Particularly, the real-time adaptation of EW to rapid changes in hostile activity poses a technological challenge. The ability of combining reconfigurable hardware devices with optimization software capable of executing real-time autonomous reconfiguration opens up a new approach to many difficult EW problems. This paper describes a realtime implementation of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) demonstrated in a specific hardware configuration.
