Antenna Synthesis
|
Course Topics:
The course is divided in two main parts.
The first one covers the general aspects of the antenna synthesis problem, with the aim of providing
a sound and unitary mathematical framework and discussing the most relevant characteristics of the
main classes of optimization algorithms exploited in antennas’ design.
In the light of the above framework, the second part is devoted to specific topics in array antennas
synthesis, selected for their practical and/or theoretical relevance.
Guided numerical exercises (suggested programming environment: MATLAB) with brief presentations of the results are also foreseen.
Course Summary:
The synthesis problem
General formulation of the synthesis problem: external and internal synthesis. Mathematical formulation of the synthesis problem.
The role of design and physical constraints. Ill-posedness, field properties and degrees of freedom. The trapping problem.
A general framework for the synthesis problem: the intersection approach. Antenna synthesis and channel capacity.
Optimization algorithms
Local and global optimization algorithms. Evolutionary algorithms. Mixed algorithms.
Topics in antenna synthesis
Convex and non convex problems. Sum and difference patterns synthesis. Shaped beams synthesis. Non conventional arrays.
Reflectarrays. Beam forming networks and active arrays.
