摘要：
In this paper, a steerable isotropic circular array antenna is designed to reduce the side lobe level (SLL), using an evolutionary optimization technique. Particle swarm optimization and the firefly algorithm are used to reduce the SLL, as well as to steer the main beam in a specific direction. In this steerable circular array design, the amplitude excitations are optimized. The results show that the maximum SLL peak of the resultant patterns is as per requirements. Good performance is achieved in the array factor response and suppression of SLL for different numbers of array elements with different main beam steering angles.
