Abstract

Linear antenna array design is one of the most important electromagnetic optimization problems of current interest. This article describes the application of a recently developed metaheuristic algorithm, known as the Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO), to optimize the spacing between the elements of the linear array to produce a radiation pattern with minimum side lobe level and null placement control. The results of the IWO algorithm have been shown to meet or beat the results obtained using other state-of-the-art metaheuristics like the Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Memetic Algorithms (MA), and Tabu Search (TS) in a statistically meaningful way
