Abstract

In this research, the fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA) is proposed to design linear array antenna in free space. To show the versatility of the present method, the objective of antenna design is to achieve maximum directivity for linear array antenna by controlling amplitude and spacing parameters of the array antenna. The result of the FOA is validated by comparing with results obtained using the genetic algorithm (GA). Finally, the FOA is efficient and accurate for electrically large problems of linear antenna arrays in free space.
