"Antenna Synthesis by Levin's Method using a Novel Optimization Algorithm for Knot Placement", Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society Journal, Vol.38, No.2, pp.74-79.1054-48871943-5711https://doi.org/10.13052/2023.ACES.J.380201- Antenna synthesis refers to determining the antenna current distribution by evaluating the inverse Fourier integral of its radiation pattern. Since this inte-gral is highly oscillatory, Levin's method can be used for the solution, providing high accuracy. In Levin's method, the integration domain is divided into equally spaced sub-intervals, and the integrals are solved by transfer-ring them into differential equations. This article uses a new optimization algorithm to determine the location of these interval points (knots) to improve the method's accuracy. Two different antenna design examples are pre-sented to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the pro-posed method for antenna synthesis applications.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAntenna SynthesisFourier IntegralHighly Oscillatory Integrals Knot PlacementLevin'S MethodArticle382747910.13052/2023.ACES.J.3802012-s2.0-85165910671WOS:001026957700001Q4Q3
