| Abstract: In this work, synthesis of the linear array geometry is put forward as a constrained vector optimization problem whose components are to meet the minimum sidelobe level (SLL) and control of the wide/narrow null placement during beam scanning. Since these synthesis objectives generally conflict with each other, non-dominated solutions are searched using the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm- II (NSGA-II). Then, the Pareto frontiers are obtained using these trade-off solution sets between the maximum SLL, null control and scanning range to provide a view of all design options. Thus, the pattern features resulted from these Pareto frontiers are valid for any chosen main beam direction within its full prescribed beam scanning range. Finally, some typical Pareto optimal radiation patterns of the scanning arrays are synthesized with only perturbating the positions of the array elements and their full electromagnetic wave simulations are also completed to examine the resulted mutual coupling effects between the elements of the arrays. | ||
