Abstract
The pattern synthesis of antenna arrays is a substantial factor that can enhance the effectiveness and validity of a wireless communication system. This work proposes an advanced marine predator algorithm (AMPA) to synthesize the beam patterns of a non-uniform circular antenna array (CAA). The AMPA utilizes an adaptive velocity update mechanism with a chaotic sequence parameter to improve the exploration and exploitation capability of the algorithm. The MPA structure is simplified and upgraded to overcome being stuck in the local optimum. The AMPA is employed for the joint optimization of amplitude current and inter-element spacing to suppress the peak sidelobe level (SLL) of 8-element, 10-element, 12-element, and 18-element CAAs, taking into consideration the mutual coupling effects. The results show that it attains better performances in relation to SLL suppression and convergence rate, in comparison with some other algorithms for the optimization case.
