The invention provides an array antenna pattern optimization method and
system based on multi-constraint convex optimization, and relates to the technical field of
antenna array optimization, and the method comprises the steps: constructing an array topological structure containing a plurality of candidate
array element positions based on initial geometric parameters, and setting a existence variable and an
initial phase design variable for each candidate
array element position; mapping the existence variable into continuous
impedance distribution based on a continuous interpolation function to obtain a pseudo-impedance value; substituting the pseudo-impedance value and the
initial phase design variable into a moment method
electromagnetic field integral equation, calculating surface
current distribution, further calculating
main lobe direction
radiation energy,
side lobe area peak
radiation energy and the total number of current array elements, determining a
radiation efficiency index based on the radiation energy, and updating the design variable based on a gradient optimization
algorithm by taking minimization of a negative value of the radiation efficiency index as a target; judging whether a convergence condition is met or not, if yes, converting into an
array element sparse
layout scheme and a phase excitation scheme, and generating an optimized array antenna directional diagram; otherwise, continuing iterative optimization.
