Pattern Synthesis of Concentric Ring Array Antennas by Differential Evolution Algorithm

Pages 421-430 | Published online: 03 Apr 2012
 

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a computational global optimization method based on differential evolution (DE) algorithm for synthesizing large multiple concentric rings arrays to generate a pencil beam with minimum peak side lobe level (PSLL) and constrained first null beam width (FNBW). The synthesis is performed with a differential evolution technique to optimize the ring spacing, the number of the elements in each ring as well as the amplitude distribution. Simulated results of the designed synthesis illustrate the efficiency and reliability of our proposed method.
