In an application like radar there is a need for a wide range of Beam widths depending on whether the radar is operating in search mode or tracking mode. Wide range of beam widths can be achieved by using optimization algorithms like Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) and Differential Evolution Algorithm (DE). The desired beam width should be achieved without any significant increase in the side lobe level (SLL). This can be done by optimizing both SLL and FNBW simultaneously. Synthesis of linear array antenna for a fixed range of beam width is obtained by using the proposed methodology. The results for simultaneous optimization of FNBW and SLL using BBO and DE algorithms are compared.

Iterative Optimization

This research has proposed the iterative genetic algorithm (GA) optimization scheme to synthesize the radiation pattern of an aperiodic (nonuniform) linear array antenna. The aim of the iterative optimization is to achieve a radiation pattern with a side lobe level (SLL) of ≤−20 dB. In the optimization, the proposed scheme iteratively optimizes the array range (spacing) and the number of array elements, whereby the array element with the lowest absolute complex weight coefficient is first removed and then the second lowest and so on. The removal (the element reduction) is terminated once the SLL is greater than −20 dB (>−20 dB) and the elemental increment mechanism is triggered. The results indicate that the proposed iterative GA optimization scheme is applicable to the nonuniform linear array antenna and also is capable of synthesizing the radiation pattern with SLL ≤ −20 dB.
