Multibeam antenna arrays have important applications in communications and radar. This paper presents a new method of designing a reconfigurable antenna with quantized phase excitations using a new hybrid algorithm, called DE/BBO. The reconfigurable design problem is to find the element excitation that will result in a sector pattern main beam with low sidelobes with additional requirement that the same excitation amplitudes applied to the array with zero-phase should be in a high directivity, low sidelobe pencil-shaped main beam. In order to reduce the effect of mutual coupling between the antenna-array elements, the dynamic range ratio is minimized. Additionally, compared with the continuous realization and subsequent quantization, experimental results indicate that the performance of the discrete realization of the phase excitation value can be improved. In order to test the performances of hybrid differential evolution with biogeography-based optimization, the results of some state-of-art algorithms are considered, for the purposed of comparison. Experiment results indicate the better performance of the DE/BBO.

Binary Differential Evolution

Differential Evolution (DE) is a popular evolutionary algorithm that has been applied to several antenna design problems. However, DE is best suited for continuous search spaces. Therefore, in order to apply it to combinatorial optimization problems for antenna design a binary version of the DE algorithm has to be used. In this chapter, the author presents a design technique based on Novel Binary DE (NBDE). The main benefit of NBDE is reserving the DE updating strategy to binary space. This chapter presents results from design cases that include array thinning, phased array design with discrete phase shifters, and conformal array design with discrete excitations based on NBDE.

On the basis of an analytical review of scientific and technical information sources dedicated to correction of errors in the gainphase distribution of the field on the aperture of the phased antenna array, such errors been caused by correlation of errors in phase quantization by discrete phase shifters, and also caused by disbursement of their characteristics and by failures in a part of the phased antenna array elements, an unresolved problem has been discovered. It is required to correct the amplitudephase distribution errors caused by deformation of the curtain of the large-aperture stationary phased antenna array and resulting in deviation of the radiating elements from their design parameters. A mathematical apparatus of the field distribution electronic correction is being developed together with an algorithm for controlling the radiation pattern of the phased antenna array. The effectiveness of the proposed method for correcting the array pattern distribution on the aperture of the deformed phased antenna array has been evaluated and an option for technical implementation thereof has been proposed.The relevance and novelty of the work is confirmed by the patent for the invention developed on the basis of the studies performed and by the certificate of state registration of the software, which was based upon in the processing of results of the measurements of the deformations in the curtain of the large-aperture phased antenna array.

Abstract This article presents a 60 GHz coplanar fed slotted antenna based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology for beam-tilting applications. The longitudinal passive slots are fed via associated SIW holes adjacent to the coplanar feed while the main excitation is provided from the microstrip-to-SIW transition. The antenna array achieves an impedance bandwidth of 57–64 GHz with gains reaching to 12 dBi. The passive SIW slots are excited with various orientations of coplanar feeds and associated holes covering an angular beam-tilting from −56° to +56° with an offset of 10° at the central frequency. The novelty of this work is; beam-tilting is achieved without the use of any active/passive phase shifters which improves the design in terms of losses and provide a much simpler alternative compared to the complex geometries available in the literature at the 60 GHz band.
