New Antenna Designs

Apprently NASA did some research and came up with a new antenna design. I honestly cant say i understadn the technology behind it, but its based on some sort of Algorithm:

Using a coevolutionary algorithm, we optimized the design parameters for a quadrifilar helical antenna by encoding various parameters that control the shape and size of the antenna into a linear representation.

all this with the top 3 benefits of, 1. Less power comsumption, 2. doesn't require a matching network (not sure what this means...), 3. Has a more uniformed coverage. Not to mention its easier to design, and has taken the idea of being used near building, which current day antenna tech. inst really designed for, building obstacles.
