Application of multi objective evolutionary algorithms to analogue filter tuning

Abstract

This paper discusses and compares the methods of Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm and Multi Objective Simulated Annealing applied to LC filter tuning. Specifically, the paper is concerned with the application and implementation of these methods to the design of an antenna tuning unit, providing the facility to adapt to changes in load impedance, temperature or environmental effects, ensuring maximum power transfer and harmonic rejection. A number of simulations were carried out to evaluate the relative performance of these algorithms.
