Application of Hybrid Optimization Algorithm in the Synthesis of Linear Antenna Array

Abstract EN

The use of hybrid algorithms for solving real-world optimization problems has become popular since their solution quality can be made better than the algorithms that form them by combining their desirable features.

The newly proposed hybrid method which is called Hybrid Differential, Particle, and Harmony (HDPH) algorithm is different from the other hybrid forms since it uses all features of merged algorithms in order to perform efficiently for a wide variety of problems.

In the proposed algorithm the control parameters are randomized which makes its implementation easy and provides a fast response.

This paper describes the application of HDPH algorithm to linear antenna array synthesis.

The results obtained with the HDPH algorithm are compared with three merged optimization techniques that are used in HDPH.

The comparison shows that the performance of the proposed algorithm is comparatively better in both solution quality and robustness.

The proposed hybrid algorithm HDPH can be an efficient candidate for real-time optimization problems since it yields reliable performance at all times when it gets executed.
