1. INTRODUCTION
Low side lobe antennas are becoming an increasingly important component of high
performance electronic systems, particularly those operating in heavy clutter and
jamming environments. Practically, the radiation pattern of antenna array has not only
having the main beam but also side lobes .Most of the power is confined in main
beam which provides the coverage in desired portion. Some of the power is also
remained in sidelobe levels that are nothing but wastage of transmitting power [16]. If
the sidelobe levels are very high, large amount of transmitting power is wastage. For
efficient use of transmitting power and desired radiation characteristics can be
achieved by using this five following control methods: 1) The geometrical
configuration of the overall array 2) The relative displacement between the elements
3) The excitation amplitude of the individual elements 4) The excitation phase of
individual elements 5) The relative pattern of the individual elements .Various
analytical and numerical methods have been used to optimize the side lobe levels
relative to the main beam by using above controls.
Several new optimization techniques have been emerged in the past two decades,
that mimic biological evolution, or the way biological entities communicate in nature.
Some of these algorithms have been used successively in many electromagnetic and
antenna problems include Genetic Algorithms (GA) [1], Particle Swarm Optimization
(PSO) [2], and the method of Differential Evolution (DE) Algorithm [3]. In the
electromagnetism research area, mainly the antenna synthesis, the use of these
optimizers is widely and clearly appreciated. To date, different GA, PSO and DE
algorithms have been successfully applied to different problems including antenna
design and the array synthesis.
Many efforts have also been devoted to compare these algorithms to each other.
Typically, such comparisons have been based on artificial numerical benchmark
problems. The goal of many studies was to verify that one algorithm outperformed
another on a given set of problems. In general, it has been possible to improve a given
standard method within a restricted set of benchmark problems by making minor
modifications to it.Recently, Genetic Algorithms (GA) ,particle swarm optimization
(PSO) and differential evolution (DE) have been introduced and particularly PSO has
received increased interest from the EC community. These techniques have shown
great promise in several real-world applications [4]-[7]. In this paper, we investigated
the performance of GA, DE, PSO for the optimization of SLL.
In the following part of the paper, the theory and formulation of the optimization
problem will be explained. After words, the details of the proposed ensemble based
Genetic Algorithms (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential
Evolution (DE) algorithms will be given. Finally, the application of algorithms in the
optimization of SLL will be demonstrated for 20 element antenna array. The
corresponding results of three algorithms will be compared.
2. MICRO STRIP PATCH ANTENNA
Microstrip antennas are used not only as single element but are very popular in arrays.
Arrays are very versatile and are used to synthesize a required pattern that cannot be
achieved with a single element. Arrays increase the directivity, and perform various
other functions which would be difficult with any one single element.
For the microstrip antenna, the x-y plane (π/2, 0 π /2, 3 π /2 2 π) is the principal E-plane. For this plane, the expression for the radiated fields is[8-9]

2. DESIGN OF LINEAR ARRAY ANTENNAS
Consider a Linear array of 2N symmetric array elements uniformly spaced of distance
d between the elements in x-z plane. The array factor for the linear antenna array is
shown below [10].
Where k is the wave number, k=2ᴨ/λ, θ is the angle measured from the axis of the
array, θo is the steering angle, [ , ] is the excitation of the current for the element on either side of the array midpoint to be controlled and d is the spacing
between elements. By the array factor, the fitness function is obtained. Here, the
fitness function is used to obtain the optimum weights and to achieve maximum SLL.
Assuming the linear array is symmetric about its center of the array.
Mathematically, the array factor of a 2N element linear array is given by [10]

3. THE GENETIC ALGORITHM (GA)
The Genetic Algorithm (GA) is an optimization and global search technique based on
the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. A Genetic Algorithm allows a
population composed of many individuals to involve under specified selection rules to
a state that minimizes the cost function. This optimization algorithm is more powerful
for problems with more number of variables and local minima. GA is very efficient in
exploring the entire search space or the solution space, which is large and complex.
The Genetic algorithm is implemented using computer simulation [9]. Genetic
Algorithm may be represented as shown in Fig.3.
In computer algorithm, a chromosome is an array of genes, a number of
chromosomes make up one population. The chromosomes are generated randomly in
the selected space. Each chromosome has an associated fitness function, assigning a
relative merit to that chromosome. The algorithm begins with a large list of random
chromosomes.

http://www.iaeme.com/IJARET/index.asp 136 editor@iaeme.com
Fitness functions are evaluated for each chromosome. The chromosomes are
ranked from the best-fit to the least-fit, according to their respective fitness functions.
Unacceptable chromosomes are discarded, leaving a superior species-subset of an
original list, which is the process of selection. Genes that survive become parents, by
crossing over some of their genetic material to produce two new offspring. The
parents reproduce enough to offset the discarded chromosomes. Thus, the total
number of chromosomes remains constant after every iteration. Mutations cause small
random changes in a chromosome. Fitness functions are evaluated for the offspring
and mutated chromosome, and the process is repeated. The algorithm stops after a set
number of iterations, or when an acceptable solution is obtained.
In the genetic algorithm, initial chromosomes are combination of random
chromosome and amplitude excitations of linear array instead of all random
chromosomes. The halves of the chromosome are discarded and new half of
chromosomes are generated from parents chromosome which are best fits to fitness
function. The cost function is the maximum side lobe level for the antenna pattern.
4. PRACTICAL SWARM OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM
Practical swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based self-adaptive search
optimization technique first introduced by Kennedy and Eberhart [11]. The PSO
method is becoming very popular due to its simplicity of implementation and ability
to quickly converge to a reasonably good solution. In the practical swarm algorithm,
the trajectory of each individual in the search space is adjusted by dynamically
altering the velocity of each particle, according to its own flying particles in the D-
dimensional search space can be represented as and respectively.

DE ALGORITHM
To update the velocity matrix at each iteration K, every particle should now its
personal best and global best position vectors in addition to the neighbor best position.
The personal best position vector defines the position at which each particle attained
its best fitness value up to the present iteration. The personal best position of the
particle is represented as the global best position vector defines the position in the solution space at which the best fitness
value was achieved by all particles, and is defined by

In 1995, Price and Storn commenced the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm
[10] which is based upon differential mutation operator. Practically there are many
problems with different types of objective functions such as non-linear, noisy, flat,
non-differentiable, non-continuous, and multi-dimensional or have many local
minima which are difficult to solve analytically. DE is a robust statistical method for
cost function minimization which does not make use of a single nominal parameter
vector but instead it uses a population of equally important vectors and is very
advantageous to find the most approximate solution to any type of problems.
Differential evolution is a simple, efficient and robust evolutionary algorithm, and
is usually mark as DE/x/y/z, where x denotes how the differential mutation base is
chosen , y denotes the number of vectors differences added to the base vector and z
indicates the crossover method. It has been successfully applied to the array synthesis
problems, electromagnetic inverse problems and many other scientific and
engineering problems. Although it has been reported that differential evolution
performs better than many other algorithms, it is still a dream for differential
evolution users to have a strategy perfectly balancing exploration and exploitation, or
equivalently, reliability and efficiency.
It has been well known that the critical idea behind the success of Differential
Evolution is the creative invention of differential mutation [13-15]. Different
differential mutation strategies balance exploration and exploitation differently. For
example, DE/Best/*/* generally converges faster due to the guidance by the best
individual but may be locally trapped because of loss of directivity, while
DE/Rand/*/* gains directivity at the cost of efficiency. In order to simultaneously,
provide both diversity and guidance so that exploration and exploitation can be more
efficiently balanced. Synthesis capability, reliability and efficiency of DE/Rand/*/*
are tested. The simulation results show that DE/Rand/*/* is able to achieve lower
peak side lobe levels and converge reliably and efficiently.
In DE algorithm the objective function is sampled by a set of initial points which
are chosen randomly from the entire search space. Then in the next step the algorithm
adds the weighted difference between the two randomly selected population vectors to
the third random population vector to generate a new parameter vector. This process
of generating the new parameter vector is called mutation. Now this parameter vector
is further mixed with the predefined parameters to produce the trial vector and this
process is called crossover. Then in the last step, called selection in which trial vector
is replaced by the target vector if the trial vector reduces the values of the cost
function then that obtained due to the target vector.
To realize the algorithm let the problem is function of D number of independent
parameters. In this work for N element array, the number of independent parameters
is 2N in which the first N parameters are the normalized amplitude coefficient of the
N array elements and remaining N parameters are to represent the static phase of each
element. Hence, if NP be the population size then the parameter vectors are
represented as

The target vector compared with the trial vector and the minimum value is
admitted to the next generation. The above steps are continued until the predefined
number of generations reached or the desired value of the cost function is obtained.
The entire process of DE for solving problem is shown in flowchart in Fig 4.

6. RESUITS AND DISCUSSIONS
In this paper, the Non-Uniform linear antenna array is synthesized using global
optimizing techniques called GA, PSO and DE algorithms. The Non-Uniform array is
symmetric array of 2N elements towards the center of the array. The array having
progressive phase and uniform spacing between the elements is 0.5λ.The radiation
pattern of linear antenna array with N=20 elements at scan angles and deg are
given for GA, PSO and DE. In this paper, the array factor is the objective function for
optimizing the fitness /cost function called SLL. By using this evaluation techniques
the est weights are obtained for linear antenna arrays to reduce the SLL.
