Elliptic and Concentric-Elliptic Antenna Array Design using Grey Wolf Optimization

Abstract

In this work, Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) is applied to the optimization of elliptical and concentric elliptical antenna arrays. The objective is to minimize the Sidelobe level and improve the directivity. GWO is a nature-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm inspired by the social hierarchy and hunting behavior of grey wolves. The obtained optimal values result in a good reduction of the sidelobe level for the elliptical and concentric elliptical antenna arrays with an enhancement in the directivity. This makes the designed arrays of practical use in the communication systems.
