Towards the Natural Optimization with Particle Swarm Optimization.

This paper shows the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm with a Differential Evolution. Each candidate solution is sampled in the interval [?5, 5] D where D indicates the dimension of the search space, and the evolution is performed with a classical PSO algorithm and a classical DE/x/1 algorithm according to a random threshold. Moreover, this paper provides concepts to deal with non-linear optimization through the use of PSO.

A planar microwave imaging system with step-frequency synthesized pulse using different calibration methods

An experimental study of a planar microwave imaging system with step-frequency synthesized pulse for possible use in medical applications is described. Simple phantoms, consisting of a cylindrical plastic container with air or oil imitating fatty tissues and small highly reflective objects emulating tumors, are scanned with a probe antenna over a planar surface in the X-band. Different calibration schemes are considered for successful detection of these objects. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
