The problems of non-convex quadratic programming related to phased antenna arrays optimization
Abstract:
The problem of short wave phased antenna arrays optimization was formulated as a quadratic programming problem. A penalty functions method and gradient ascent algorithm were applied to analyze a structure of a local optima set. The results of the proposed algorithm were compared with the results of the well-known BARON solver.
