Abstract: In this paper, an efficient method based on the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm for the pattern synthesis of concentric rings antenna arrays to reduce side lobe levels (SLL) by controlling only the amplitude excitations of each array element was presented. SQP algorithm is a deterministic method of multi-objective optimization. It is the most widely used for the resolution of nonlinear problems. It consists of transforming the nonlinear problem to sequence of quadratic sub-problems by using a quadratic approximation of the Lagrangian function. In order to illustrate the performance of the proposed method, several examples of planar concentric rings antenna array patterns with almost one-half wavelength spaced isotropic elements to reduce the SLL and to norrow the half power beam width are presented. The results shown in this paper and compared with those obtained by the application of uniform, Hamming and Blackman weighting, demonstrate the effectiveness of this optimization method based on the SQP algorithm.
