- Abstract
This paper presents a technique to realize a compact uniform linear array with non-uniform spacing. The well known soft computing technique, the Genetic Algorithm using a novel objective function based on minimizing the side lobes power is employed for this purpose. A set of genetically produced arrays are created for each case and the array satisfying the minimal coupling criterion is selected from the set. The simulation is performed on several n element array and results are compared with the results obtained using other soft computing techniques such as Particle Swarm optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm-Conjugate Gradient (GA-CG), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Fire-fly algorithms (FA) etc. It is found that the Genetic Algorithm using proposed objective function outperforms all other algorithms both in terms of offering minimum total length of the array and minimum side lobe levels.
