Application of the Global Optimization Approaches to Planar Near-Field Antenna Phaseless Measurements

چکیده
This paper deals with a method of the radiation pattern determination of the directional antennas. The method combining both the functional minimization method and the Fourier iterative algorithm is based on the phaseless near-field measurement on two plane surfaces. The method is used for a reconstruction of the phase distribution on the aperture of the measured antenna, and for the determination of the antenna radiation pattern, consequently. The binary genetic algorithm (BGA), the realvalued genetic algorithm (RVGA), the particle swarm optimization (PSO), and differential evolutionary algorithm (DEA) were chosen for the global functional minimization. The paper is aimed to analyze the performance of the global optimizations (GOs) when solving the described problem, and to compare the GOs. GOs were examined through data achieved by measurement of a horn antenna and a parabola.

متن کاملApplication of Iterative Fourier Method in Cylindrical Phaseless Antenna Measurement Technique
The Fourier iterative algorithm (FIA) is a wellknown planar phase retrieval method. The algorithm uses conventional amplitude measurements on two surfaces placed in different distances from the measured antenna. In this paper FIA will be applied in cylindrical geometry. In this case near-field transformations use high order Hankel functions which are known to become singular in case of measurem...
متن کاملThe Use of Statistical Image Classification as a Convergence Criteria in Phaseless Near-field Antenna Measurements
The utility of a variety of objective, quantitative and robust methods of assessing similarities between antenna measurement data have already been highlighted in the literature. These techniques essentially involved the extraction of interval, ordinal, and categorical features from antenna pattern data sets that can then be effectively compared to establish a measure of their adjacency, i.e. s...

In this paper, we present a direct optimization procedure that utilizes phaseless electric field data over arbitrary shaped surfaces for the reconstruction of an equivalent magnetic current density that represents the radiating structure or an antenna under test. Once the equivalent magnetic current density is determined, the electric field at any point can be calculated. Numerical results (bot...
متن کاملUWB Planar Conical Horn-Shaped Self-Complementary Bow-Tie Antenna
An ultra-wideband (UWB) self-complementary planar bow-tie antenna (SCPBTA) is proposed. The antenna consists of a printed conical horn-shaped (CHS) radiator and a counterpart CHS slot etched on a rectangular ground plane. The printed CHS radiator is connected directly to the 50Ω microstrip line by bending the end portion of the feed line. As a result, the antenna has a simple structure which do...
