With the rapid increase in wireless applications such as mobile base stations, radars, etc., the antenna array becomes the key issue in solving these problems. Since the synthesis of the radiation pattern from beamwidth and SLL points of view depends mainly on the feeding network. Most goals are achieved via the excitation coefficients optimizations. This may make the feeding network more complicated since the unequal power dividers utilized in beamforming almost has large dynamic range ratio. In this paper, the optimization is performed on the spacing between elements using the known neural network algorithm. The optimization goals are the HPBW to be 7o and the SLL to be −20 dB. The feeding network is implemented using the Wilkinson power dividers and the phase compensation is done using additional sections of meandered transmission lines. Excellent agreement is obtained between the simulated and experimental results.
