Abstract

Provided is a method for beam forming and beam pattern optimization based on an L-shaped array antenna, and the invention relates to the fields of beam forming and beam pattern optimization of an antenna. According to the invention, in order to solve the problems of low beam pattern angle measurement resolution and angle measurement accuracy resulting from less array elements in the traditional L-shaped array, the method comprises steps of: firstly, establishing a beam pattern F of an antenna for the L-shaped array by using a beam forming method in two-dimensional space, encoding an array structure of the L-shaped array, then adjusting the codes and building a fitness function, and with the beam pattern performance as an optimization target, organizing and optimizing the L-shaped array with a genetic algorithm to obtain an optimized non-uniform L-shaped array element arrangement; on the basis of the array element arrangement, further establishing a fitness function, and by using the genetic algorithm, calculating an optimal weight w for each array element of the L-shaped array; and introducing the optimized non-uniform L-shaped array element arrangement and the weight w into the beam pattern F to implement beam pattern optimization. The present invention is applicable to beam forming and beam pattern optimization of the L-shaped array antenna.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to antenna beamforming and a method for beam pattern optimization. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the technology of using linear array to measure angle information has been developed rapidly. However, linear array angle measurement has its limitation, that is, only one-dimensional angle information can be obtained. For the two-dimensional angular information of the signal, it must be measured with an area array. According to the research of Hua Yingbo et al. in 1991, for the measurement of two-dimensional angles, the L-shaped array has higher potential angle measurement accuracy than other simple two-dimensional arrays (such as circular arrays, cross arrays, etc.). At the same time, because the L-shaped array also has the advantages of simple structure and easy array arrangement, it has become a research hotspot. However, there is a serious problem with the L-shaped array. Compared with the uniform rectan...
