Abstract
When high specifications are required in the design of microwave structures, and there is no analytical method or it is very complicated with high range of variables, the use of optimization method becomes inevitable. In this paper a comparison of two population based optimization methods, inspired from nature is presented. We employed genetic algorithm and practical swarm optimization techniques. To carry out this comparison, two filters are synthesized. The comparison is based on the rate of success to solve problems, the number of iterations, and the calculation time.
