Design of linear antenna arrays for side lobe reduction using the tabu search method

الملخص EN

A design problem of uniform linear antenna arrays for maximal side lobe level reduction with the constraint of a fixed beam width is dealt with.

This problem is modelled as a simple optimization problem.

The method of tabu search is used to determine an optimum a set of weights of antenna element that provide a radiation pattern with maximal side lobe level reduction with the constraint of a fixed beam width.

Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed method although it needs more CPU time and memory.
