Abstract

This work applies a newly developed evolutionary optimization algorithm named as Seeker Optimization Algorithm for designing broad band matching circuits that maximally match different load impedances to transmission lines in a pre-described range of frequencies. SO algorithm has been verified to be very effective in finding the solutions for such multi-objective functions. Herein the design process aims to select the values and the places of the matching impedances between loads and transmission lines under specific constraints. The obtained results have been compared to those in the literature to verify the enhancement in the performance.
