Abstract :
Synthesis of unequally spaced linear antenna arrays is considered in this paper. A recently developed new differential evolution algorithm is applied to solve the problem. Both position-only and position-phase synthesis have been studied. Effect of angle resolution has also been investigated. Synthesis results show that our algorithm is able to obtain better synthesis result reliably and efficiently.
