Abstract :
A synthesis method based on differential evolution algorithm is presented for probe-fed microstrip conformal antenna arrays. The adaptive integral method (AIM) combined with moment method (MoM) is used to analyze each element radiation pattern in the array efficiently. Then the amplitude weights of elements are optimized by differential evolution algorithm (DE) to drive down the side-lobes.
