Marinelli}, url = {http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/267/}, abstract = {Parabolic antennas are in general very used for satellite communication systems thanks to their radiation characteristics, which allow to concentrate quite all the antenna radiation towards a precise direction. Given some radiation requirements, the objective of this activity is to model a parabolic antenna by using an optimization algorithm, which allows to enhance the radiation characteristic while complying with the imposed requirements. }, keywords = {Evolutionary Optimization, Array Synthesis, ACM} }
