{"product_id":"9781598295382","title":"Electromagnetics And Antenna Optimization Using Taguchi's Method","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of optimization is to try to achieve the best result. By adjusting input parameters, the process of optimization seeks for a better output so that the performance of a system, such as quality, monetary cost, and efficiency, can be improved. Optimization can be applied to a variety of areas and has received great attention recently. Thanks to the rapid development of computer technology, many optimization techniques such as genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), simulated annealing (SA), artificial neural network (ANN), and gradient-based techniques, have been implemented by computer codes. Currently in the field of electromagnetics (EM), many microwave circuits and antenna designs rely on optimization techniques. Traditional methods, such as the trial and error approach, require many experiments to obtain an optimum or a satisfactory result. Therefore, an optimization technique is necessary for EM applications. Taguchi's method was developed based on the concept of the orthogonal array (OA), which can effectively reduce the number of tests required in a design process. It provides an efficient way to choose the design parameters in an optimization procedure. Although Taguchi's method has been successfully applied in many fields such as chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, integrated chip manufacture, and power electronics, it is not familiar in the electromagnetics community. This book is the first attempt to popularize the technique within the EM community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morgan \u0026 Claypool Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041239449840,"sku":"9781598295382","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781598295382_p0.jpg?v=1763810422","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781598295382","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
