OPTIMIZATION OF SIDE LOBE LEVEL AND FIXING QUASI-NULLS IN BOTH OF THE SUM AND DIFFERENCE PATTERNS BY USING CONTINUOUS ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION (ACO) METHOD

In this paper, the optimization of both sum and difference patterns of linear monopulse antennas with low side lobe levels, high directivity and also narrow main beam width are efficiently solved by Continuous Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) Method. The syn
