  ABSTRACT: In this paper Genetic Algorithm has been integrated with Fouquet modal analysis to optimize radiation pattern of coupled periodic antenna. Floquet analysis is used with MoM-GEC (Moment-Generalized Equivalent Circuit) method to study a finite periodic array with uniform amplitude and linear phase distribution. This method is very advantageous for studying large antenna array since it considerably reduces the computation time and the number of operations. In this way, Genetic algorithm is introduced and combined with Floquet analysis to optimize the radiation pattern distribution of this coupled periodic antenna. The goal of the optimization is to provide a better radiation characteristic for the coupled periodic antenna with maximum side lobe level reduction.
