In this paper, a novel hybrid Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) and Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm (IWO/CS) is presented for phase-only pattern synthesis of large array antenna. The hybrid IWO/CS algorithm embeds the Levy flight of CS algorithm into IWO algorithm as a global guide, thereby enhancing the global search ability of the algorithm. At the same time, in order to avoid trapping into the local optimal solution, mutation operator is introduced to enhance search ability of the algorithm. Finally, competitive exclusion operation is improved to maintain the diversity of population. The hybrid algorithm is applied to phase-only beam shaping to achieve main lobe broadening and side lobe depression. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the hybrid IWO and CS algorithm.

With regards to the low search accuracy of the basic invasive weed optimization algorithm which is easy to get into local extremum, this paper proposes an adaptive invasive weed optimization (AIWO) algorithm. The algorithm sets the initial step size and the final step size as the adaptive step size to guide the global search of the algorithm, and it is applied to 20 famous benchmark functions for a test, the results of which show that the AIWO algorithm owns better global optimization search capacity, faster convergence speed and higher computation accuracy compared with other advanced algorithms.
