Controlling the PSLL is a major issue in designing effective antenna array systems. In this paper, a nature inspired technique, namely accelerating Gaussian mutated cat swarm optimization (AGMCSO) that attributes global search abilities, is proposed to control PSLL in the radiation pattern. In AGM-SCO, Gaussian mutation with an acceleration parameter is used in the position-updated equation, which allows the algorithm to search in a systematic way to prevent premature convergence and to enhance the speed of convergence. Experiments concerning several benchmark multimodal problems have been conducted and the obtained results illustrate that AGMCSO shows excellent performance concerning evolutionary speed and accuracy. To validate the overall efficacy of the algorithm, a sensitivity analysis was performed for different AGMCSO parameters. AGMCSO was researched on numerous linear, unequally spaced antenna arrays and the results show that in terms of generating low PSLL with a narrow first null beamwidth (FNBW), AGMCSO outperforms conventional algorithms.
