Abstract

In this paper, the design of uniform elliptical array (UEA) with optimum side lobe level reduction is presented. Multi-lobe pattern and adaptive nulling of the pattern is achieved by the control of the antenna elements phases in different states. This method is based on genetic algorithm (GA). The method of genetic algorithm is used to determine an optimum set of array factor cost that provide a radiation pattern with maximum side lobe level reduction with constraint of a suitable main lobe beamwidth. The results show that synthesis of the uniform elliptical antenna array by using GA method provide a side lobe level reduction and main lobe beamwidth better than circular antenna array obtained by using IWO (Invasive Weeds Optimization) and also optimized elliptical antenna array by using EPL (The Excitations Of Elements Phases at Eccentricity Low Level).
