Studying optimization in the wild

less than 1 minute read

Throughout the course of my academic and professional work with antennas, I have made the same suite of tools for myself half a dozen times. I have whittled down a lot of the details of a tool, and I will write a series of posts on the creation of a light-weight Python tool for :

  • Defining and manipulating the frames of antennas, explaining how they are sampled and a convenient coordinate system for doing so
  • Expanding on a lightweight software model of an antenna
  • Creating algorithms for rotation, resampling, and combination of collections of antenna elements
  • Utilizing optimizers to inform decisions made about the design of an array
  • Flesh-out a collection of engineering tools for the convenient use of these tools
  • Providing a Pyvista and PyQtGraph set of plotting functions
