Abstract :
In this paper, Taguchi Algorithm is used to design a cylindrical conformal antenna array with desired side lobe level and half power beam width. Results obtained by traditional genetic algorithm and Taguchi algorithm are compared. The desired side lobe level and half power beam width are successfully obtained by Taguchi algorithm more faster than genetic algorithm.
