Abstract :
A classic engineering problem, the design of aperiodic antenna arrays, is revisited in this paper by applying real-number and binary MOPSO algorithms. The peak SLL and other design criteria such as the beamwidth and the element number are traded off to find the best design strategy. The effectiveness of the algorithms is validated by comparing the optimization results with conventional periodic arrays and existing methodologies such as the statistical density tapering
