Abstract
This paper presents a fast, accurate, and multifunctional
electromagnetic optimization bioinspired technique that uses the social spider optimization algorithm (SSO). The proposed technique is applied to the design of a frequency selective surface (FSS), with Vicsek fractal patch elements, and an ultra wideband antenna (UWB), consisting of a ring monopole. In the proposed (synthesis) technique, the use of a database or the construction of a neural network is not required. The SSO algorithm communicates via scripts directly with the Ansoft HFSS software tool, enabling a good flexibility in the number of parameters to be
optimized and reducing the required computation time. The accuracy
and efficiency of the proposed technique is confirmed by comparison
with experimental results and with other simulation techniques.
