Abstract :
Thinned antenna arrays and arrays constructed with digital phase shifters are designed using a Pareto genetic algorithm for low beamwidth and sidelobe level. To facilitate this process, the standard simple genetic algorithm is augmented by special genetic representations and operators. The technique is applied to the design of both one and two dimensional arrays
