Description
Summary:A recently developed metaheuristic optimization algorithm, the Cuckoo search algorithm, is used in this paper for the synthesis of symmetric uniformly spaced linear microstrip antennas array. Cuckoo search is based on the breeding strategy of Cuckoos augmented by a Levy flight behaviour found in the foraging habits of other species. This metaheuristic is tested on amplitude only pattern synthesis and amplitude and phase pattern synthesis. In both case, the objective, is to determinate the optimal excitations element that produce a synthesized radiation pattern within given bounds specified by a pattern mask. nema
