Abstract
This paper proposes an optimum beam forming of conformal array antenna by using LSM(Least Squares Method) and GA(Genetic Algorithm). The weights which approximate conformal array antenna beam pattern to linear array antenna beam pattern have been evaluated by applying LSM. Also, the optimum locations of conformal array antenna which form wideband optimum beam pattern have been obtained by using GA. The proposed method is applied to a problem of Bezier platform array antenna for a verification purpose.
