Abstract :
Modern evolutionary optimization techniques have aroused great interest among the scientific and technical community in a wide variety of fields for the last years, because of their ability to solve problems with a non-linear and non-convex dependence of design parameters.In this paper a comparison of GA, PSO and DE for the design of scannable circular antenna arrays is presented. The purpose and contribution of this paper is to present a comparative evaluation of GA, PSO, and DE in the performance to design scannable circular antenna arrays. In this case, we study the behavior of the array factor for the design of scannable circular arrays considering the optimization of the amplitude and phase excitations across the antenna elements, for a maximum performance in terms of the side lobe level and the directivity in a scanning range of [0deg, 360deg].
