Algorithm performance comparison.

In this paper, by combining the Lorentz reciprocity theorem with the particle swarm algorithm, the array beam synthesis method based on wireless power transmission efficiency is successfully applied to the automated beam synthesis process. The improved particle swarm algorithm can achieve automatic gain balancing among multiple beams. This method explicitly combines the radiation pattern of the array element to construct the scattering parameter matrix, providing a new approach in addition to simulation software calculation and experimental measurement, and improving the conventional method of maximum power transmission efficiency. For experimental validation, a 2.45 GHz phased array antenna with a dual-layer feed structure is designed and fabricated. The proposed algorithm successfully synthesizes 2D spatially scanned beams, as well as balanced-gain dual-beam and quad-beam patterns, with measured gain variations below 0.1 dB and computational optimization completed within 8 seconds. Experimental results demonstrate precise beam steering at target angles while maintaining exceptional gain uniformity across all beams. The solution’s pattern-dependent framework ensures universal applicability to diverse array configurations requiring multi-beam synthesis with scanning capability and gain equalization, offering a robust tool for next-generation communication and radar systems.
