QPSO for failure correction of linear array of mutually coupled parallel dipole antennas with desired side lobe level and return loss

A method based on quantum particle swarm optimization is proposed for correcting radiation pattern of a uniformly spaced linear array of parallel half-wavelength vertical very thin dipole antennas when more than one element of the array is completely defective. The generated pattern is broadside in...
