Beam Shaping using Genetic Algorithm for Large Array Beamforming

Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of side lobe suppression using Genetic Algorithm. Results of window techniques for large number of antenna elements are used as a motivation for the Genetic Algorithm based side lobe suppression. Analysis of results in connection with suppression of side lobes using Genetic Algorithm are observed for number of metrics. The aforementioned implementation of Genetic Algorithm is used with LTE signal whose extension can be used for practical implementation for upcoming 5G technology in millimeter wavebands.
