On the effect of the finite metal conductivity in the design of wire antennas using evolutionary design
Giovanni Andrea Casula, Giuseppe Mazzarella, Nicola Sirena · 2011
Evolutionary Design is an innovative procedure of antenna design, able to search in a very large solution space. As such, it tends to design superdirective antennas. It is shown here that inclusion of conductor losses prevents from superdirective solutions, with no degradation in EM performances, at the cost of a larger antenna size.
