Dynamic Thinning of Antenna Array Using Differential Evolution Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dynamic thinning is a process by which the total number of active elements in an antenna array is reduced under real time conditions without causing major degradation in system’s performances. This paper suggests a technique by which a thinned antenna array is designed by simple differential evolution(DE) algorithm overcoming the difficulties of large and rugged solution space and slow rate of convergence in case of large 2-D arrays.

A Thinning Method of Linear And Planar Array Antennas To Reduce SLL of Radiation Pattern By GWO And ICA Algorithms
In the recent years, the optimization techniques using evolutionary algorithms have been widely used to solve electromagnetic problems. These algorithms use thinning the antenna arrays with the aim of reducing the complexity and thus achieving the optimal solution and decreasing the side lobe level. To obtain the optimal solution, thinning is performed by removing some elements in an array thro...

This paper describes the synthesis of digitally excited pencil/flat top dual beams simultaneously in a linear antenna array constructed of isotropic elements. The objective is to generate a pencil/flat top beam pair using the excitations generated by the evolutionary algorithms. Both the beams share common variable discrete amplitude excitations and differ in variable discrete phase excitations...
متن کاملGeneration of Narrow Beams using Differential Evolution Algorithm from Circular Arrays
Concentric circular arrays are increasingly shown more interest in antenna design for generating low sidelobe patterns as they have radial symmetry and an invariant beam in the azimuthal plane. Such patterns are desirable in low EMI applications. In the present work, an attempt is made to generate low sidelobe patterns from concentric circular arrays by optimizing both ring radii and individual...

The reconfigurable design problem is to find the element that will result in a sector pattern main beam with side lobes. The same excitation amplitudes apply to the array with zero-phase that should be in a high directivity, low side lobe pencil shaped main beam. Multi-beam antenna arrays have important applications in communications and radar. This paper presents a new method of designing a re...

Thinning is a technique by which the total number of active elements in an antenna array is reduced without causing major degradation in system performance. Dynamic thinning is the process of achieving this under real time conditions. Stochastic techniques have been useful in the design of thinned arrays. However while applying the technique to large 2-D arrays, under changing conditions proble...
