Abstract

In recent year, requirement of antenna is necessary for long-distance communication with minimized interference for wireless communication. Antenna array becomes an essential part of communication to achieve directivity, gain, and bandwidth. Array antenna optimization is one of the suitable methods to enhance the performance of the same. In this work, a short review of earlier optimization method for different parameters of the array is discussed. This review describes the methods used for reduction of side lobes in the array. The nature-inspired optimization methods provide better performance for optimal reduction of side lobes.
