Electromagnetic modelling of an active integrated antenna array using MoM-GEC method in conjunction with genetic algorithms for 5G beam synthesis applications

This Letter presents an electromagnetic modelling of an active integrated antenna array for 5G mobile communication. Here, the authors propose a functional method for active-integrated antenna array synthesis, based on the method of moments combined with the generalised equivalent circuit (MoM-GEC) in conjunction with a genetic algorithm for the synthesis of a 2D array with switched phase states. Their design strategy is applied to search for the optimal phase matrix with a directional beam and minimum side-lobe level.
