Abstract

Abstract: A compact array antenna is designed with variable metric algorithms, namely Davidon-Fletcher-Powell (DFP) and Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS). Using a global optimization method, the amplitude and phase distribution of current excitations are optimized to achieve a low-sidelobe and sharp-cutoff pattern shaping. The array, consisting of 26 parallel printed dipoles, is powered by a stripline-circuit distribute network connecting 26 individual stripline ring-hybrid feed circuits. The feed circuit network and the printed antenna are designed all together, leading to a low insertion loss and a compact size. Measurements show that the bandwidth is 11° at 3dB, that the sharp cutoff on the horizon is 5.83dB/(°), and that the sidelobes are less than -20dB. The array antenna meets and exceeds demanded parameters and has been applied to a certain microwave landing system.

Key words: array antenna, pattern shaping, sidelobe, sharp cutoff, optimization method
