Description
Summary:The aim of this letter is to introduce and use the spider monkey optimization (SMO) as an optimization technique for the electromagnetics and antenna communities. The SMO is a new swarm intelligence technique that models the foraging behavior of spider monkeys. To show the efficiency of the SMO, different examples are presented, and the results are compared to the results obtained using other popular optimization techniques. The optimization procedure is used to synthesize the array factor of a linear antenna array and to optimally design an E-shaped patch antenna for wireless applications. By comparing to traditional optimization techniques reported in the literature, it is evident that SMO is efficient in reaching the optimum solutions with less number of experiments .
