Particle swarm optimization versus genetic algorithms for phased array synthesis
D.W. Boeringer,Douglas H. Werner +1 more
TL;DR: The particle swarm optimizer shares the ability of the genetic algorithm to handle arbitrary nonlinear cost functions, but with a much simpler implementation it clearly demonstrates good possibilities for widespread use in electromagnetic optimization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of thinned aperiodic linear phased arrays using genetic algorithms to reduce grating lobes during scanning
TL;DR: This paper investigates a method of creating thinned aperiodic linear phased arrays through the application of genetic algorithms that will suppress the grating lobes with increased steering angles and place restrictions on the driving-point impedance of each element so that they are well behaved during scanning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficiency-constrained particle swarm optimization of a modified bernstein polynomial for conformal array excitation amplitude synthesis
D.W. Boeringer,Douglas H. Werner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a modified Bernstein polynomial, defined with just five parameters, is introduced which provides a flexible method to specify a variety of smooth unimodal amplitude distributions that are shown to give good sidelobe levels and aperture efficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simultaneous parameter adaptation scheme for genetic algorithms with application to phased array synthesis
TL;DR: This paper demonstrates a real-valued genetic algorithm that simultaneously adapts several such parameters during the optimization process, and this adaptive algorithm is shown to outperform its static counterparts when used to synthesize the phased array weights to satisfy specified far-field sidelobe constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lateral photovoltaic effect in porous silicon
D.W. Boeringer,Raphael Tsu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the lateral photovoltaic effect in porous silicon has been introduced and shown to play a role in photoluminescence degradation in a wide area position-sensitive visible light detector.
