New hybrid approaches for SLL reduction and size miniaturization of planar antenna arrays based on 2D convolution and genetic algorithm

In this paper, a new hybrid beamforming approach based on the 2D convolution and genetic algorithm (GA), denoted as C/GA, is proposed for side lobe level (SLL) reduction and size miniaturization of planar antenna arrays (PAA). The convolution algorithm determines the elements excitations, whereas th...
