Genetic Algorithm Aided Synthesis of Low SLL Antenna Array Utilizing Position Optimization based on Zoning Technique

Abstract

The present paper discuss an element placement strategy based on genetic algorithm (GA) technique to synthesize an isophoric uniformly placed element array with low sidelobe level (SLL). A zoning method is used in conjunction with GA for accelerating the convergence process. The effectiveness of the optimization methodology is highlighted with the aid of few studies in the paper.
