Low Sidelobe Sparse Concentric Ring Arrays Optimization Using Modified GA

Abstract EN

To minimize the peak sidelobe level (PSLL) of sparse concentric ring arrays, this paper presents an optimization method of grid ring radii of these arrays.

The proposed method is based on modified real genetic algorithm (MGA); it makes grid ring radii as optimal variables and makes elements more reasonably distributed on the array aperture.

Also, it can improve the PSLL of the sparse concentric ring arrays and can meanwhile control the computational cost.

The simulated results confirming the efficiency and the robustness of the algorithm are provided at last.
