BROADSIDE LINEAR ANTENNA ARRAY SYNTHESIS USING GENETIC ALGORITHM

This paper is based on optimization of broadside linear antenna array. In this paper optimum value of weights of each antenna element is determined which produces radiation pattern with minimum side lobe level .In this work real coded Genetic algorithm is used. MATLAB is used as a platform. Adaptive feasible mutation rate is used which enables search in broader space along randomly generated directions to produce new generations. This improves the performance greatly to achieve the maximum reduction in side lobe level with minimum function calls.
