Abstract

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is an effective, simple and promising method intended for the fast search in multi-dimensional space [Kennedy and Eberhart, "Particle Swarm Optimization", Proc. of the 1995 IEEE International Conference on Neural Networks, 1995]. Besides special testing problems a number of engineering tasks of electrodynamics were solved by the PSO successfully [Robinson and Rahmat-Samii, "Particle Swarm Optimization in Electromagnetics", IEEE Trans. Antennas Propag., 2004; Jin and Rahmat-Samii, "Parallel Particle Swarm Optimization and Finite-Difference Time-Domain (PSO/FDTD) Algorithm for Multband and Wide-Band Patch Antenna Designs", IEEE Trans. Antennas Propag., 2005]. On the other hand, the scattering matrix technique is a fast and accurate method of mode converter analysis. We illustrate PSO by a number of converter designs developed for high-power microwaves control: a matching horn for output maser section, a corrugated converter of linear-polarized hybrid modes, a TE01 mitre bend.
