| Abstract | Over the past few decades, much research has been invested in the exploration of wideband and ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna arrays. The goals of such array designs are to determine the best element arrangements, which yield radiation patterns possessing the highest degrees of side lobe suppression, and no grating lobes over the largest possible operating bandwidths. It has been recently shown that nature-inspired array-design methodologies can provide solutions that exhibit these ultra-wideband characteristics. This article provides an overview of two such designs: linear polyfractal arrays, and planar arrays of aperiodic tilings. Robust nature-inspired genetic-algorithm optimization techniques were utilized in the design of both types of arrays in order to obtain the best-possible UWB performance. This article also discusses the fabrication and experimental validation of two 32-element linear polyfractal array-design prototypes, which exhibited close agreement to the radiation performance predicted by simulation. These experimentally validated arrays possessed wide bandwidths with suppressed grating lobes and relatively low sidelobes for their size (-16.3 dB at f0 and -5.39 dB at f0)Additional simulations discussed in this paper showed that the benefits of these methodologies are amplified when applied to larger sized array designs (Le., arrays with larger element counts). One example exhibited a peak sidelobe level less than -19.34 dB over a 40:1 bandwidth. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
