Abstract :Accelerator based facilities are in a leading position for crafting many scientific and technical innovations for a wide range of application from aviation to medicine. Beam Position Monitors insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BPMs); are critical diagnostics tools for such facilities. This study presents bio-inspired methods known as Particle Swarm Optimization and Evolutionary Algorithms in order to design RF antennas for button-type BPMs. Our results show that the antenna parameters obtained using this multiple objective approaches present suitable SNR and linearity values for signal processing. It is found that using an antenna radius of 5.5 mm and beam-pipe radius of 17.5 mm, we can obtain SNR values around 40 dB which can be electronically processed.
