In the antenna arrays the side lobe level is main problem which causes wastage of energy. This paper describes the application of a recently developed metaheuristic algorithm, known as the Particle Swarm Optimization Gravitational Search Algorithm(PSOGSA) to optimize the spacing between the elements of the linear antenna array to produce a radiation pattern with minimum side lobe level. Numeric...

In this paper a new approach for reducing the side lobe level of amplitude tapered linear array using Chebyshev polynomial and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is presented. The array geometry synthesis is first formulated as an optimization problem with the goal of side lobe level reduction and then solved using PSO algorithm for optimum current excitations. While solving optimization problem...

The theory of the dielectric cone antenna has been known since the early seventies. On their own, this antenna has a reasonably circular symmetric radiation pattern but exhibits an undesirably high side-lobe level. A properly designed metallic shield, which does not interfere with the field structure of the dielectric cone, may be used to reduce the side-lobe level. Although in principle this a...

A new antenna structure with lower side lobe pattern and higher gain was designed by combining a microstrip rectangular planar antenna array with the separated feed network technique. In this paper, the side lobe behaviors of two different radiating structures have been studied and compared. The first antenna configuration (“Structure 1”) is a 16-element planar antenna array whose feed line is ...

This paper deals with a scheme of Antenna array side lobe reduction by varying amplitude of each element of the antenna array using the Tsukamoto fuzzy logic controller. Here it has been tried to reduce the Side Lobe Level of the antenna array radiation pattern by changing the amplitude of the antenna array elements. Spacing between the antenna array elements and the corresponding phase shift i...

A design problem of non-uniform circular antenna arrays for maximum reduction of both the side lobe level (SLL) and first null beam width (FNBW) is dealt with. This problem is modeled as a simple optimization problem. The method of Firefly algorithm (FFA) is used to determine an optimal set of current excitation weights and antenna inter-element separations that provide radiation pattern with m...

Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common type of epilepsy in adults, is often medically refractory, and due to broad actions and long-time scales, current systemic treatments have major negative side-effects. However, temporal lobe seizures tend to arise from discrete regions before overt clinical behaviour, making temporally and spatially specific treatment theoretically possible. Here we rep...

The definition and extent of the human caudate lobe in the liver is unclear, and thus, the anatomy of the caudate lobe was studied using 23 corrosion liver casts, with special reference to the portal venous and biliary branches. These branches and their ramification type in the caudate lobe showed that this lobe includes: (1) the Spiegel lobe; (2) the paracaval portion; and (3) the caudate proc...

The paper is based upon the performance of various w indows in designing FIR Filter. The cosine hyperbolic w indow has been used to design a better FIR Filter in terms of ripple ratio, side-lobe roll off ratio and main-lobe w idth w ith its advantages of no power series expansion in frequency domain hence need less hardware. The spectral characteristic of cosh window is compared with other wind...
