Design of 8-Element Linear Array with Practical Problem Diagnosis of Faulty Element Using Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstarct: Design of 8 element linear array as a model set up by using IE3D setup. Satellite applications involve millions of elements Defect in an element is difficult to diagnose and require optimization approach. The paper intends to design 8 element arrays as a satellite model and making its element defective for diagnosis Particle swarm optimization technique is used for the purpose of diagnosis. Detection of defective element in a satellite antenna requires optimized approach A calibration system can be used in satellite itself but in case of any failure, calibration can also be defective. So the good solution will be location of failing element from external data and optimization scheme can be used for the detection. PSO is used as a optimization tool that detects the defective element using power values that are being, received.
