Abstract

We formulate certain problems in the optimal design of radiating structures such as multicriteria optimization problems. We review the basic background of such problems, prove the existence of Pareto optimal points, and give necessary conditions. We apply the latter to the numerical computation of optimal surface currents for the problem of simultaneously optimizing both the quality factor and the signal‐to‐noise ratio of a conformal antenna.
