Design of Linear and Circular Antenna Arrays Using Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cuckoo optimization Algorithm (COA) is employed for the optimization of linear and nonuniform circular antenna arrays. COA is a novel nature inspired computing algorithm which is motivated by the life of Cuckoo. Like other nature-inspired algorithms, COA is also a population-based method and uses a population of solutions to proceed to the global solution. The method of COA is used to determine a set of parameters of antenna elements that provide the required radiation pattern. The effectiveness of COA for the design of antenna arrays is shown by means of numerical results. Comparison of results of COA is made with that obtained using other popular methods. The results reveal the superior performance of COA as compared to other techniques both for design of linear and circular antenna arrays.

متن کاملGeneration of Low Side Lobe Difference Pattern using Nature Inspired Metaheuristic Algorithms
Pattern synthesis is one of the most important aspects in antenna design. Arrays are more flexible to produce desired radiation characteristics. Difference patterns are usually generated with conventional techniques and there is less control on side lobes. In view of this, optimization techniques are applied to synthesize and produce such patterns optimally. The simulated patterns are produced ...
