title: Synthesis of sum and difference patterns for monopulse antennas by an hybrid real/integer-coded differential evolution method

keywords: Array antennas, Monopulse antennas, Evolutionary algorithm, Sum and difference patterns
note: Submitted for consideration for publication IEEE Trans on Antennas Propagation
abstract: The synthesis of sum and difference patterns of monopulse antennas is considered in this paper. The synthesis problem is recast as an optimization problem by defining a suitable cost function based on the constraints on the side lobe levels. A subarray configuration is considered and the excitations of the difference pattern are approximately determined. The optimization problem is efficently solved by a differential evolution algorithm, wich is able to contemporarly handle real and integer unknowns. Numerical results are reported considering classic array configurations previusly assumed in the literature.
