Patent ID: 8060457

Claim:
A method of electromagnetic band gap structure synthesis comprising the steps of: providing a set of desired characteristics for an electromagnetic band gap structure; generating a plurality of populations of a plurality of patch shape members with a genetic algorithm routine; solving one or more of the plurality of patch shape members of the plurality of populations with an electrodynamics modeling technique; converting the output of the electrodynamics modeling technique into a set of response data for one or more of the plurality of patch shape members for one or more of the plurality of populations; calculating a fitness level for one or more of the plurality of sets of response data in comparison to the set of desired characteristics for the electromagnetic band gap structure, including evaluating the one or more of the plurality of sets of response data to determine whether an isolation level has reached a target amount; determining whether the fitness level of one of the plurality of patch shape members is within a predetermined tolerance; and if none of the plurality of patch shape members provides a fitness level within the predetermined tolerance, then repeating the steps of generating, solving, converting, calculating, and determining.
