Synthesis of 1D and 2 D Multi-Beam Annular Microstrip Antenna Arrays by Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization for TM11 and TM12
Authors: , ,
Abstract: This paper describes the original results obtained in the field of multi-beam annular ring antenna array pattern synthesis for the modes TM11 and TM12, by applying an iterative algorithm for phased arrays, which is able to produce low side-lobe level patterns with multiple prescribed main lobes. The proposed method is based on the adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm. This solution is characterized by its simple implementation and a reduced computational time to achieve the desired radiation patterns. These advantages make the presented algorithm suitable for a wide range of communication systems. The original results obtained in the field of antenna array pattern synthesis are presented and, several illustrative examples are simulated to verify the validity of the proposed method.
