Abstract

In this paper, we thoroughly investigate the application of naive genetic algorithm to the problem of antenna placement in radio astronomy. The cost functions were the cost of cable length and the challenge of avoiding beat frequencies in the imaging process. We showed that genetic algorithm does help us in generating better placements than those given by symmetric conventional placements procedure. This is a novel use of genetic algorithm. Hence in this study a better understanding of the cost functions and the domain outweighs the investigation into different types of evolutionary algorithms.
