Abstract

In this paper, the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is introduced and applied to the synthesis of uniformly excited broadside linear unequally spaced arrays for sidelobe suppression with different aperture constraints. Two design examples of pattern synthesis with fixed and unfixed array aperture respectively have been chosen to illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of WOA when compared to synthesis techniques described in literature. The results show that the WOA achieves lowest maximum sidelobe level relative to other state-of-the-art algorithms in two design cases. The WOA results and convergence tests demonstrate superior applicability of this novel optimization algorithm.
