Design Method of Beam Forming Using Genetic Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

For the high side-lobe defeats of conventional beam applied to actual sensor array, a new method of beam forming based on genetic algorithm is proposed. The genetic algorithm optimization toolbox will be used to solve the problem of beam forming. The problem of beam forming will be formed into genetic algorithm function expressions which can get the desired array weights. Computer simulation results show that the design of beam meet our requirements. Tank experiment data simulation results fully demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the method.
