Abstract
In this chapter, we formulate the antenna design task as a nonlinear minimization problem. We introduce necessary notation, discuss typical objectives and constraints, and give a brief overview of conventional optimization techniques, including gradient-based and derivative-free methods, as well as metaheuristics. We also introduce the concept of the surrogate-based optimization (SBO) and discuss it on a generic level. More detailed exposition of SBO and SBO-related design techniques will be given in Chaps. 3 and 4.
