Abstract :
We present comparison of Differential evolution and Cuckoo search for optimization of linear antenna array of Hertzian dipoles. The amplitudes of excitations are optimized in order to minimize sidelobe levels. The results are compared for 42 elements array, with 20 optimization variables. The conclusion is that classic Differential evolution provides better convergence for this particular problem than standard Cuckoo search.
