Unequally spaced linear antenna arrays synthesis based on genetic algorithm

Abstract

The analysis for the assembling of non-uniform, linear arrays based on Genetic Algorithm is presented. The GA optimization techniques generate the locations of the elements for reducing the side-lobe level. Results are presented for the placement of 20 elements under the design of a 15.5 λ. linear array. The scanning properties of the designed arrays are also investigated. According to the optimized results, patch antenna arrays are simulated by Ansys HFSS software to verify the optimization technique.
