A Survey on Synthesis of Linear antenna arrays, circular antenna arrays, conformal arrays and Beamforming Techniques

Abstract

By 2022, the world will witness new technologies in the field of communications, Radar
communications and wireless communications. Therefore, there is lot of future scope for the antenna design
to meet the client needs. Lot of factors will influence the synthesis of an antenna. In the present era,
synthesis of antenna arrays and beamforming is an issue in the area of Radar systems and wireless systems.
Meta-heuristic optimization algorithms play a major role in synthesis of an antenna arrays. Meta-heuristic
optimization algorithms compriseBat algorithm, Chicken swarm, Cuckoo search (CS), Ant colony, Runner
root and flower pollination algorithms. This paper explains about the synthesis of linear antenna arrays
(LAA), circular antenna arrays (CAA), planar arrays, conformal arrays and Hybrid Beamforming
techniques.
