Abstract :
This paper proposes an optically controllable microstrip adaptive array using the semiconductor plasma and the genetic algorithm. The array antenna consists of the slot-coupled microstrip patch antennas whose weights are controlled by optically induced semiconductor plasma. The plasma densities an determined by the GA, and the validity for the null steering and beam forming technique was shown
