Abstract

It is well known that several methods are reported to design array antennas for the generation of radiation patterns. It is found that none of them are optimum. However, in the present work, a new swarm intelligence method Firefly algorithm is applied for their optimization. Both uniform and non-uniform arrays are considered. The power patterns are numerically computed for different arrays and they are presented in ?-domain.
