Smart Cylindrical Dome Antenna Based on Active Frequency Selective Surface by Tongyu Ding, Shaoqing Zhang, Liang Zhang, Yanhui Liu

“…Moreover, in order to overcome the unavailable analytical synthesis caused by complex mutual coupling between columns, we develop a genetic algorithm based optimization system and conducted a serial of experiments to evaluate the high-gain, nulling, continuously steering, and frequency-invariant ability. …”
