Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining a limited set of discrete modification values for each radioelectric parameter before the optimization process begins. This allows the algorithm to efficiently evaluate combinations without exhaustive searching, significantly reducing design time while maintaining optimal configuration selection through systematic evaluation of predefined parameter sets.
