In this paper, we design an optimal planar array geometry for maximum side-lobe reduction. The concept of thinned array is applied to obtain an optimal two dimensional(2-D) planar array structure. First, a 2-D rectangular array with uniform spacing is used as an initial planar array structure. Next, we modify the initial planar array geometry with the aid of thinned array theory in order to reduce the maximum side-lobe level. This is implemented by a genetic algorithm under some constraint, minimizing the maximum side-lobe level of the 2-D planar array. It is shown that the optimized planar array structure can achieve low side-lobe level without optimizing the excitations of the array antennas.

In this paper, we propose a optimal design using the Evolution Strategy of a high gain $4\times4$ array antenna that have the resonant frequency of a 19.05GHz with 18.86GHz~19.26GHz bandwidth. The proposed array antenna structure is designed to be allocated equally electric power by microstrip patch power splitter. Thus the optimal array antenna with power splitter are determined by using an optimal design program based on the evolution strategy. To achieve this, an interface program between a commercial EM analysis tool and the optimal design program is constructed for implementing the evolution strategy technique that seeks a global optimum of the objective function through the iterative design process consisting of variation and reproduction. The simulation result of $4\times4$ array antenna is confirmed that the Gain is 19.36 dBi at resonance frequency 19.05GHz.

A general linearly constrained broadband adaptive array is examined in the eigenvector space with respect to the optimal weight vector and the adaptive algorithm. The optimal weight vector and the general adaptive algorithm in the eigenvector space are obtained by eigenvector matrix transformation. Their operations are shown to be the same as in the standard coordinate system except for the relevant transformed vectors and matrices. The nulling performance of the general linearly constrained broadband adaptive array depends on the gain factor such that the constraint plane is shifted perpendicularly to the origin by an increase in the gain factor. The general linearly constrained broadband adaptive array is observed to perform better than a conventional linearly constrained adaptive array in a coherent signal environment, while the former performs similarly to the latter in a non-coherent signal environment.

A quarter-wavelength open circuited microstripline slot array is realized at X-band froquency. The optimal feeding point is experimentally determined. The input impedance of the slot array for various frequencies and its radiation pattern are measured. The bandwidth of the slot array is increased by using the 4$\times$4 elements which are slightly different in length and feeding network which is suggested in this papers.

This paper presents the optimal design of Robot-Arm part use Design of Experiment(DOE). The DOE(Design of Experiment)was conducted to find out main effect factors for design of Robot-Arm part. In this design of Robot-Arm, 5 control factors include numbers of 4 level are selected and we make out L16 orthogonal array. Using this orthogonal array, find out optimal value and main effect factors of object function for design of Robot-Arm part by 16 times of test. We evidence this optimal value by using CATIA V5 Analysis.

In this paper, we designed one-dimensional VLSI array with optimal pipeline period for high speed processing fractal image compression. The algorithm is derived which is suitable for VLSI array from axed block partition algorithm. Also the algorithm satisfies high quality of image and high compression-ratio. The designed VLSI array has optimal pipeline relied because the required processing time of PEs is distributed as same as possible. As this result, we can improve the processing speed up to about 3 times. The number of input/output pins can be reduced by sharing the input/output and arithmetic unit of the domain blocks and the range blocks.

This study was motivated how it might be possible to validate structured sampling with orthogonal array for optimal design of a pin. The Taguchi method by orthogonal array, one of the structured sampling methods, has much advantage that is row cost and time saving for experiments. But this method has been applied in limited areas especially for mechanical problems. In this study, we experimented whether the structured sampling is useful for applying optimal design of mechanical elements. For the experiment, we first set up a mechanical problem which was related to determining optimal parameters associated a pin's crack occurred inside a hole. We, then, calculated combination of...

Recently, a number of large-scale photovoltaic(PV) power generation system has been installed all over the world. Thus, in order to improve the system efficiency, the optimal design of the large-scale PV systems has become an important issue. DC cable loss of PV array is one of the design factors related to the system efficiency. This paper introduces the array design method of a 500kW Photovoltaic power plant. Three types of the PV array are suggested. Also, string cables, sub-array cables and array cables are designed within 1% of voltage drop in the line, and the DC cable losses are analyzed. The results of this paper show that the DC cable loss of large-scale PV array can be reduced by adopting a proper sub-array design method.

In this paper, we design an optimized planar array structure with triangular lattice for side-lobe reduction using a genetic algorithm. A constraint optimization is implemented by optimally removing some outer array elements far from the array center. It is shown that only the proper array shape without optimizing the magnitudes and phases of each array antenna can give low side-lobe level with a slight main beam broadening.
