antenna, many different antenna configurations may give similar performance,
depending on the problem. So while the results shown in this chapter are indeed
remarkable, they are not unreasonable, given the nature of antenna design.
In summary, then, GAs are able to optimize wire antennas for many diverse
and difficult applications. The inherent power of the GA to not only optimize
conventional designs, but to create them virtually on its own, makes it an ideal
method of automated design for wire antennas.
