Paper title: LINEAR ANTENNA ARRAY SYNTHESIS WITH MINIMUM SIDE LOBE LEVEL AND NULL CONTROLING
Author(s): ŽARKO ROSIĆ, OLIVERA MIHIĆ,
Abstract: In this paper, we proposed a technique for the synthesis of linear antenna array with non-uniform inter-element spacing.
Scatter-search was used in the algorithm to obtain the optimal position of the elements in order to get the minimum side lobe
level and nulls in desired directions. The main difference in the relation to other work was in applying objective function with
weight coefficient. Through weight coefficients we gave importance of one part of the objective function with respect to the other
in the synthesis process. The simulation results verify that by using objective function with weight coefficient the proposed
method outperforms the previously published methods in term of suppression side lobe level while maintaining nulls in specified
directions.
