Implementation of a control system of intelligent antennas based on the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm

This paper describes a global electromagnetic optimization technique using SQP´s method and apply it to guide the radiation pattern of linear antenna array in a certain direction, without any mechanical rotation or movement that is only by controlling the phase parameters of N equally spaced and symmetric elements. This paper investigates how the implementation on STM8 of the signal processing in hardware affects the performance of the adaptive array antenna.
