چکیده
This paper describes the theories and techniques for designing linear and planar fractal arrays and compare their radiation pattern with conventional arrays. Fractals are recursively generated object having fractional dimension. We have compared radiation pattern of cantor linear arrays with conventional linear arrays using MATLAB program. Another program was developed to characterize the radiation pattern of periodic, random and Sierpinski fractal arrays. Index Terms – Uniform, linear, planar, cantor, sierpinski fractal

Design Investigation of Microstrip Patch and Half-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide Cavity Hybrid Antenna Arrays
In this paper two linear arrays including a linear 1×4 and a planar 2×2 of microstrip patch and half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity hybrid antenna are introduced and investigated. These are simply implemented using low cost single layer printed circuit board (PCB) process. The array element consists of a rectangular microstrip patch with appropriate dimensions in the vicinity ...
متن کاملSynthesis of Antenna Arrays of Maximum Directivity for a Specified Sidelobe Level
Linear and planar antenna arrays are synthesized to have maximum directivity for a specified sidelobe level. The directivity is maximized subject to a given SLL. The beamwidth and the zeros of array factor are studied as well as the directivity. Maximum directivity-arrays are compared through some examples with super-directive, uniform, Dolph-Chebyshev and Riblet-Chebychev arrays to find a comp...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملFractal Antenna Arrays Nsf
This research involves the overlaps of antenna theory, fractal geometry, and numerical calculations. Its goal is to investigate how random or periodic antenna array geometry can be improved through the use of fractals. Using a program we developed in Matlab, we plotted the radiation of linear/planar antenna arrays. We were able to correctly analyze radiation of three two-dimensional arrays. Ano...
متن کاملOptimization of Array Factor in Linear Arrays Using Modified Genetic Algorithm
The array factor (sidelobe level, SLL) of a linear array is optimized using modified continuous genetic algorithms in this work. The amplitudes and phases of the currents as well as the separation of the antennas are all taken as variables to be controlled. The results of the design using modified GA versions are compared with other methods. Two design problems were studied using several contin...
