Design of Antenna Arrays by Using Modified Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

This research paper proposed the modified fruit fly optimization algorithm (MFOA) to design antenna arrays. The MFOA is used to estimate parameters of three configurations of antenna arrays. There are linear, planar and circular uniform antenna arrays. From numerical results, the MFOA is effective in determining antenna array parameters. The proposed algorithm has advantages in easy implementation, global search space and fast convergence rate.
