Optimizing Included Angle of Symmetrical V-Dipoles for Higher Directivity Using Bacteria Foraging Optimization Algorithm
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 3, 295-314, 2008
Abstract
Recently the social foraging behavior of E. coli bacteria has been used to solve optimization problems. This paper presents an approach involving Bacterial Foraging (BF) to find appropriate included angle (ψ) and there by two other slant angles (θ1, θ2) for which the V-dipole provides higher directivity in comparison to straight dipole. Symmetrical V and Straight dipole is analyzed completely using Method of Moments (MoM). MoM codes in MATLAB environment have been developed both for straight dipole and Vdipole to obtain impedance, directivity, and radiation patterns in both E-plane and H-plane. Then MoM codes is coupled with well known Bacteria Foraging Algorithm (BFA) to get best included angle. Moreover, some modification of BFA is done for the faster convergence.
