Design of 3D cubic antenna arrays with low side lobe level during beam-scanning

Abstract

This paper presents the synthesis of a scannable pattern for 3D cubic antenna arrays. This design of steerable cubic antenna arrays considers the optimization of the amplitude and phase excitations across the antenna elements. The performance of cubic antenna arrays could be improved substantially if the amplitude and phase excitations are set or optimized in an adequate way. The synthesis process is carried out by the method of DEMO (Differential Evolution for Multi-objective Optimization).
