Received 4 August 2010 These antennas are designed to block communication at 3-band GSM frequencies. They are Received in revised form 26 September 2011 planned to be mounted on a vehicle and therefore are modeled on a ground plane. Jammer Accepted 27 September 2011 antennas designed in this work are composed of wires, placed on two square dielectric Available online 1 November 2011 frames, perpendicular to each other. Genetic optimization routines are developed on MAT- LAB environment for the designs carried out in this work. Electromagnetic simulation pro- gram called SuperNEC, which analyses antennas by the method of moments, is used to determine the antenna performances and is called by the developed GA routines.
