%T Antenna model optimization for satellite communication %I University of Trento %L elediasc12267 %D 2012 %A D. Marinelli %X 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. %K Evolutionary Optimization, Array Synthesis, ACM
