I do a lot of antenna design. There are far too many variables for optimization, and also size/geometry constraints. That's not to say you wouldn't start with a base design and use an optimizer (which could be genetic). There was a company commercializing this exact algorithm several year ago. I don't think it went anywhere.

Obviously your fitness function needs to be differentiable with respect to the parameters, which most simulators can't yet do.
