Genetically Evolved Phase-Aggregation Technique for Linear Arrays Control

Abstract
This paper presents a modified Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique in which the large phase perturbations are calculated by aggregating small phase increments. The proposed aggregation GA technique overcomes the major drawback of the large solution space required by the classical GA techniques. The proposed method adopts small ranges for increments of the parameters and the optimality is reached via aggregation of the best increments of phases. Consequently, the GA searches in a smaller solution space and finds the solution with reduced number of iterations. Simulation results show the achieved improvement of the proposed technique over the classical GA. The suppressed sectors using phase-only control are accomplished with and without element failures. Problems like imposing symmetrical nulls around the mainbeam and compensation for the failure of center element have been achieved.
