Description

Cylindrical array antenna optimization method based on chaotic sparrow search algorithm
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of array antennas, and relates to a sparse distribution optimization array method of a cylindrical array antenna, which is used for inhibiting side lobes of a sparse array antenna directional diagram.
Background
According to different arrangement forms of array elements, the array antenna can be divided into a one-dimensional linear array, a two-dimensional planar array and a three-dimensional conformal array. Because the radiation beams of the linear array and the planar array have the advantages of rapid scanning, beam forming and the like, the radiation beams are in a mature array form at present, but the radiation performance of the radiation beams is influenced by the value of a scanning angle due to the asymmetry of the linear array and the planar array, and the beam scanning range is limited. The circular array structure has structural symmetry, can realize 360-degree omnidirectional coverage on an azimuth angle, has ideal radiation performance on a pitch angle, and has small influence on the shape and gain of an antenna beam in the antenna scanning process, so that the circular array structure is widely concerned in the field.
In radar systems, there is a special type of array antenna, in which the elements are arranged on the outer surface of the radar platform such that the surface of the array antenna conforms to the outer shape of the radar platform, and such an antenna is called a conformal array antenna. The cylindrical array is the basis for researching conformal arrays, but the cylindrical array antenna needs more array units, and the directional pattern of the cylindrical array antenna has higher sidelobe level, so the sparse cylindrical array antenna with a low sidelobe radiation pattern, which can effectively inhibit interference signals, needs to be designed.
In recent years, with continuous development and progress of numerical calculation, sparse array synthesis is performed by using intelligent optimization algorithms such as a genetic algorithm, a particle swarm algorithm, a simulated annealing method, a differential evolution algorithm and the like, so that the purposes of reducing the number of array elements, reducing the cost of an antenna system, inhibiting the side lobe level of a directional diagram and the like are achieved, and the research on linear arrays and planar arrays is widely performed, but the research on conformal array antennas such as cylindrical antennas is less. With the complication of the antenna structure, when the traditional group intelligent optimization algorithm is used for processing a complex nonlinear problem, the solving efficiency is not high, and the situation that a local optimal solution is easy to fall exists, so that the optimization requirement of the antenna array cannot be met.
