Abstract
This paper deals with the design of beam-forming
networks (BFN) for scannable multibeam antenna arrays using
Coherently Radiating Periodic Structures (CORPS). This design of
CORPS-BFN considers the optimization of the complex inputs of the
feeding network by using the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm.

This paper deals with the design of beam-forming
networks (BFN) for scannable multibeam antenna arrays using
Coherently Radiating Periodic Structures (CORPS). This design of
CORPS-BFN considers the optimization of the complex inputs of the
feeding network by using the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm.
Simulation results for different configurations of CORPS-BFN for a
scannable multibeam linear array are presented. The results shown in
this paper present certain interesting characteristics in the array factor
response for the scannable multibeam linear array and the feeding
network simplification for the design of BFN based on CORPS. [--]
