Abstract

This paper presents the design optimization of circular antenna arrays of isotropic radiators using simulated annealing. The problem has been formulated to achieve a desired value of sidelobe level and a minimum possible value of beamwidth. This is accomplished by jointly optimizing the excitation amplitude and spacing between elements. Simulation examples have been given and comparison has been carried out with particle swarm optimization method.
