Abstract :
Genetic algorithms are capable of optimizing the performance of antenna arrays. They model biological evolution to find the parameters that optimize the output of a function. In this paper, the genetic algorithms find the quantized phase weights that optimize the sidelobe levels of an array over its scanning region
