Abstract

In this paper, distances between elements are optimized for low sidelobe level (SLL) microstrip patch array using Genetic Algorithms. Genetic Algorithms are "global" numerical-optimization methods, it's advantages are very simple coding and fast optimization. This paper show how to optimize the maximum SLL using Genetic Algorithms. In the results, although mutual coupling is neglected, it's maximum SLL is 3.5 dB lower than Uniformly Spaced Array(distance=$0.5{\lambda}$).
