The optimization of conformal array based on the CVCPSO

Abstract

In order to optimize the radiation performance of conformal array, the CVCPSO is introduced in this paper. The amplitude of elements can be optimized by the CVCPSO when the arrangement form is settled. The CVCPSO is much easier to find the global optimal position while BPSO shows a weak ability to escape from regional optimal values. Results show that the array optimized by the CVCPSO presents lower PSLL and higher gain.
