Abstract
In this paper, flat top far field radiation patterns known as sector beams are generated from linear arrays using Real Coded Genetic Algorithm. For all specified angular sectors, the pattern synthesis is carried out. The synthesis involves the determination of complex excitation functions for linear array for different beam widths. These patterns are numerically generated with the designed excitation levels. Controlling the ripples in the trade—in region maintaining the side lobe levels in the acceptable limits in the trade—off region is made possible in the present work.
