Evolvable antenna has been investigated since the early 1990s. Especially an evolved X-band antenna for NASA's Space Technology 5 (ST5) spacecraft had been deployed on schedule in 2006 and became the first evolved hardware in space. However the fitness function of their evolutionary algorithm in constraint treating related to ST5 antenna design problem too much. In this paper, it dynamic evolutionary algorithm (DEA) is first designed for solving general constrained optimization problems and tested by 24 constrained benchmark problems proposed in CEC2006. It then is used to design ST5 antenna as a real world test problem to verify its capacity in solving real world problem. The simulation results are quite promising. The evolved antennas are quite competitive with NASA's.
