Radiation Pattern Analysis and Synthesis of Antenna Arrays using Convex Optimization

Antenna Array patterns can be analyzed and synthesized in a variety of ways and are very important in almost every field of Antenna applications. Antenna Array patterns can be expressed as Convex Optimization problem and can be optimized by a number of methods available nowadays, e.q. Interior Point Methods, Genetic Algorithm, SCHELKUNOFF’S METHOD, These methods usually analyzed the Antenna Patterns in terms of Side Lobe Level, Main Lobe, Noise Power, Signal to Noise ratio. In this paper, we consider a uniform linear Antenna array with 40 elements with two equality constraints. It has been verified through the simulation results, using Convex Optimization that the side lobes and the major lobes and beam width of side lobes can now be optimized with precision as well as visible on the plots.
