This paper presents a clonal selection algorithm based on human immune system for null steering of linear antenna arrays by controlling only the element amplitudes. Design requirements such as the null depth level, maximum sidelobe level, and dynamic range ratio are considered in the optimization process. Several examples of Chebyshev pattern with the imposed single, multiple and broad nulls are given to show the accuracy and flexibility of the proposed clonal selection algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
