Q-GA: Performance Analysis in Low-pass Filter Equalization Design

"The Q-GA (modified genetic algorithm) has been proposed to design phase equalizers by using the symmetry error criterion of the impulse response. In this approach, the search space is partitioned into subspaces in which a small population evolves, regarding a reduced number of generations. This approach presents a considerable computational complexity gain, as compared with the use of a conventional GA. In this paper, we assess such an algorithm for performance in equalizer design of low-pass filters."
