Abstract

Linear antenna array pattern synthesis using computational method is an important task for the electronics engineers and researchers. Suitable optimization techniques are required for solving this kind of problem. In this work, Elephant Swarm Water Search Algorithm (ESWSA) has been used for efficient and accurate designing of linear antenna arrays that generate desired far field radiation pattern by optimizing amplitude, phase and distance of the antenna elements. ESWSA is inspired by water resource search procedure of elephants during drought. Two different fitness functions for two different benchmark problem of linear antenna array have been tested for validation of the proposed methodology. During optimization, three types of synthesis have been used namely: amplitude only, phase only and position only control for all cases antenna array. The results show that ESWSA is very efficient process for achieving desired radiation pattern while amplitude only control performed better compare to the others two controlling process for all benchmark problems.
