Abstract
A genetic algorithm is applied to optimize the size and location of a sleev e, which reduces parasitic currents on the surface of the feed cable of a m obile handset antenna, so that the influence of the RF cable on the radiati on pattern is minimized. The pattern is calculated by the electric-field in tegral equation (EFIE) method in each iteration of the genetic algorithm. ( C) John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
