Optimization of Linear Antenna Array Using Big Bang Crunch Algorithm for Reduction in Side Lobe Levels
نویسندگان
چکیده
The basic property of an antenna is to transmit and receive energy signal in one/all direction. This fundamental property is directivity. This paper employs big bang crunch algorithm optimization method for the synthesis of broadside linear antenna array. In this paper optimum value of current of each antenna element is determined which produces radiation pattern with minimum side lobe level. Optimization is done using MATLAB. Big bang crunch algorithm 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. Keywords—Antenna array, BB-BC, cost function.
