Abstract :
The method of gain enhancement of phase array antenna, based on phase error correction by genetic algorithms, is proposed in this paper. The numerical simulation shows that it is effective even for large array antenna. This technique can be utilized for self-calibration of deformed surface antenna such as smart skin of advanced aircraft.
