Space-borne antenna adaptive anti-jamming method based on gradient-genetic algorithm*

A novel space-borne antenna adaptive anti-jamming method based on the genetic algorithm (GA), which is combined with gradient-like reproduction operators is presented, to search for the best weight for pattern synthesis in radio frequency (RF). Combined, the GA's the capability of the whole searching is, but not limited by selection of the initial parameter, with the gradient algorithm's advantage of fast searching. The proposed method requires a smaller sized initial population and lower computational complexity. Therefore, it is flexible to implement this method in the real-time systems. By using the proposed algorithm, the designer can efficiently control both main-lobe shaping and side-lobe level. Simulation results based on the spot survey data show that the algorithm proposed is efficient and feasible.
