An innovative way to analyze the design of beam-forming networks (BFN) for scannable multi-beam circular antenna arrays using the CORPS (Coherently Radiating Periodic Structures) concept is introduced. This design of CORPS-BFN considers the optimization of the complex inputs of the feeding network by using the Differential Evolution (DE) method. Simulation results for different configurations of CORPS-BFN for a scannable circular array are presented. The results shown in this paper illustrate certain interesting characteristics in the behavior of the array factor for the scannable circular array. The most significant aspect that is unique to this proposal is the simplification of the feeding network based on CORPS. [--]
