T. Girard et al., A simulated annealing algorithm for planar or conformal antenna array synthesis with optimized polarization, MICROW OPT, 28(2), 2001, pp. 86-89
An antenna array synthesis method based on the simulated annealing algorith
m is presented. The synthesis is carried out on the total electrical far fi
eld in magnitude and polarization. This method used the flexibility of the
simulated annealing technique to optimize both complex feed currents and an
gular arrangements of the elements. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
