Honey bee mating algorithm applied to design low noise microstrip amplifier

In recent years, evolutionary and meta-heuristic algorithms have been extensively used as search and optimization tools in various problem domains, including science, commerce, and engineering. Ease of use, broad applicability and global perspective may be considered as the primary reason for their success. The honey-bee mating process has been considered as a typical swarm-based approach to optimization, in which the search algorithm is inspired by the process of honey-bee mating in real life. In this work, the honey-bee mating (HBMO) algorithm is presented [1] as a new meta-heuristic optimization tool to determine design target space for a microwave amplifier subject to the potential performance of the employed transistor and design of the matching circuit for a wide-band(or ultra wide-band) Front End Low Noise Amplifier.Key words: Honey Bee Mating, Low Noise Amplifier, Microstrip, Optimization, Feasible Design Space
