Abstract
In this paper, an efficient biogeography-based optimization (EBBO) method is proposed to synthesize the circular antenna arrays (CAA) for specific radiation beam pattern properties and null controls. The proposed method achieves the desired beam patterns by jointly optimizing the excitation currents as well as the spaces between the array elements. Three improved components, including chaotic search theory, model learning method and a new random perturbation operator, are introduced into the standard biogeography-based optimization (BBO) to improve the performance of the algorithm. Simulation results show that the maximum sidelobe level obtained by EBBO can be suppressed effectively compared with other algorithms. Moreover, the null controlling performance of EBBO is the best among the algorithms.
