This paper presents a synthesis of a volumetric ring antenna array for a terrestrial coverage pattern. This synthesis regards the spacing among the rings on the planesX-Y, the positions of the rings on the planeX-Z, and uniform and concentric excitations. The optimization is carried out by implementing the particle swarm optimization. The synthesis is compared with previous designs by resulting with proper performance of this geometry to provide an accurate coverage to be applied in satellite applications with a maximum reduction of the antenna hardware as well as the side lobe level reduction.


Wideband beamforming is a technique which is used to produce frequency invariant beampatterns over a wide signal bandwidth. In this paper, orthogonal particle swarm optimization (OPSO) based wideband beamformer is designed to achieve wideband beamforming. Simulations are carried out for two different scenarios to illustrate the capability of the algorithm for wideband beamforming. The beampatterns obtained from three different methods that are standard Frost algorithm, particle swarm optimization (PSO) and OPSO are compared by various parameters such as level of interference, deviation in interference angle and peak side lobe level. It is shown that by using OPSO, SLL (Sidelobe Level), null depth as well as angle deviation in nulls direction can be reduced as compared to PSO and Frost algorithms
