β¦ Synopsis
A linear array antenna design with desired radiation pattern has been presented based on genetic algorithm (GA) approach. Examples of cosecant and flat-topped beam patterns are illustrated to show the flexibility of GA to solve complex antenna synthesis problems by suitably selecting the fitness function, even with a simple GA. The results have been validated by IE3D electromagnetic simulation. The antenna arrays with different element geometries can also be implemented using the proposed technique. V

## Abstract A flexible search technique based on a tabu search algorithm is presented for the shapedβbeam pattern synthesis of linear antenna arrays. To synthesize a desired pattern, element excitations and/or positions are optimally determined. Examples of cosecant, flatβtopped, and pencil beam pa
mum is in the end-fire direction with higher cross-polar level and a gain of 3 dBi is observed over the VSWR BW. The area of the proposed compact MSA is 15 cm 2 , which is only 6% of the corresponding unslotted RMSA, which results in a better BW but a reduced gain. ## 6. CONCLUSION A compact varia
## Abstract Genetic algorithms coupled with the Schelkunoff synthesis method are used to synthesize equispaced linear and planar arrays. The purpose is to find the different excitation amplitudes and phases to achieve good matching between the desired and calculated radiation patterns. Examples whi
