Optimum Design of Conformal Array Antenna with a Shaped Radiation Pattern and Wideband Feeding Network
نویسنده
چکیده
─ In the present work, a circular conformal array with wideband printed dipole antennas and wideband feeding network has been designed to obtain a fully constrained cosecant squared radiation pattern using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and mutual coupling compensation. Using the circular conformal design leads to a decrease of around 33% of the length of the array antenna compared with that of the vertical linear array. Moreover, a better performance of the coverage region and side lobe fall after this area obtains by using this configuration. Index Terms Conformal array antenna, mutual coupling, particle swarm optimization, shaped beam, and wideband feeding network.
