Abstract

This paper specifies on optimized design of wide-band subarray using a Genetic Algorithm. First wide-band radiator was designed at triangle lattice of infinite array structure. It is the radiator of notch type that has a wide-band characteristic of ratio 2:1 between maximum and minimum frequency satisfying active reflection coefficient under -10 dB at boresight. And a Genetic Algorithm was applied to optimize subarray partition of antenna consisting of 1,100 array elements. It was confirmed that an optimized subarray antenna has a 4.5-5.5 dB more improved maximum SLL (Side-Lobe Level) than regular subarray antenna.

본 논문에서는 유전 알고리즘을 이용한 광대역 부배열 최적화 설계에 대해 기술하였다. 먼저 무한 주기 구조의 삼각 배열을 이용하여 광대역 복사 소자를 설계하였다. 너치 구조의 복사 소자로 정면 빔 조향 시 능동 반사 계수 -10 dB 이하를 만족하는 최대 및 최소 주파수 비가 약 2:1 정도로 광대역 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 광대역 배열 소자 1,100여개로 이루어진 안테나 구조의 부배열 최적화를 위해 유전 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 대조군인 규칙 부배열 안테나 구조와 비교해서 최적화(불규칙) 부배열 안테나 구조의 최대 부엽 준위가 4.5-5.5dB 정도 개선되었음을 확인하였다.
