Pattern synthesis of Antenna array has gained much attention over the last years as they constitute an important role in the modern communication systems. Unit circle-based techniques such as Schelkunoff null placement method have proved their effectiveness to synthesize uniformly spaced linear arrays. Nonuniformly spaced antenna array pattern synthesis has been investigated and interesting results have been obtained. In this work, the unit circle representation approach is applied to synthesize nonuniformly spaced and nonuniformly excited linear arrays. The objective is to accurately place nulls in the desired directions while achieving the least possible sidelobe level. The problem is cast as an optimization problem that is solved using the Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO). Examples are dealt with to prove the design approach effectiveness and flexibility for modern communication system applications.

<p>For next generation of 5G mobile base station antennas, multibeam, multifrequency and low sidelobe characteristics requested. Simplify the feeding network will contribute a low feeder loss and frequency dependent. From the previous research by the author, low sidelobe level reported by density tapered array configuration from -13 dB to -16 dB and the result maintained for wideband operation frequency at 28 GHz, 42 GHz, and 56 GHz. However, the grating lobe has occurred due to element spacing larger than a wavelength of higher frequency (56 GHz). In this paper, an investigation was made of the performance of radiation pattern for unequally microstrip linear array antenna in frequency 42 GHz and 56 GHz by loading parasitic elements. The effect of parasitic element to the impedance, gain, and sidelobe level of unequally microstrip linear spaced tapered array also examined. The design has been simulated using Ansoft High Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS) ver 16.0.</p>

Novel Algorithm

In this paper, novel algorithm known as social group optimization is use for array synthesis problem. The algorithm is implemented to the electromagnetic problem solving and its performance is evaluated. The array design is carried out with the objective of sidelobe level (SLL) suppression with uniform beam width (BW) constraint. The amplitude only technique is used to determine the coefficients of current excitation which produce the desired radiation pattern with the objectives and constraints. The analysis is carried out in terms of radiation pattern for different length of linear arrays. The simulation based experimentation is carried out in Matlab.

A cavity-backed angled-dipole antenna is proposed for millimeter-wave wireless applications. The angled-dipole radiator is built on both sides of an RT/Duroid 5880 substrate (εr=2.2) and fed by a parallel-plate transmission line. The cavity-backed reflector is utilized to improve the radiation characteristics of the angled dipole, such as gain, back-radiation, symmetric pattern, and similar 3 dB beamwidth in theE- andH-planes. The design, with a cavity aperture of0.5λ28-GHz×0.5λ28-GHz, results in aS11<-10 dB bandwidth of 26.7–30.6 GHz, a gain of 6.6–8.0 dB, and a similar 3 dB beamwidth of approximately 70° for both theE- andH-planes. Eight-element linear arrays with the proposed antenna having a center-to-center spacing of 5.6 mm(0.52λ28-GHz)are characterized, fabricated, and measured. By applying nonuniform power distribution across excitations, the array achieves a scan angle up to 40° and a sidelobe level below −15 dB.

Linear Antenna Arrays

Antenna arrays have become an essential part of most wireless communications systems. In this paper, the unwanted sidelobes in the symmetric linear array power pattern are reduced efficiently by utilizing a faster simultaneous sidelobes processing algorithm, which generates nulling sub-beams that are adapted to control and maintain steep convergence toward lower sidelobe levels. The proposed algorithm is performed using adaptive damping and heuristic factors which result in learning curve perturbations during the first few loops of the reduction process and is followed by a very steep convergence profile towards deep sidelobe levels. The numerical results show that, using the proposed adaptive sidelobes simultaneous reduction algorithm, a maximum sidelobe level of −50 dB can be achieved after only 10 iteration loops (especially for very large antenna arrays formed by 256 elements, wherein the processing time is reduced to approximately 25% of that required by the conventional fixed damping factor case). On the other hand, the generated array weights can be applied to practical linear antenna arrays under mutual coupling effects, which have shown very similar results to the radiation pattern of the isotropic antenna elements with very deep sidelobe levels and the same beamwidth.
