A method based on constricted Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO) algorithm to design a non-uniformly spaced collinear array of thin dipole antennas of unequal height is proposed. This paper presents a method for computing the appropriate excitation and geometry of individual array elements to generate a pencil beam in the vertical plane with minimum Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) and fixed Side Lobe Level (SLL). Coupling effect between any two collinear centerfed thin dipole antennas having sinusoidal current distributions is analyzed using induced EMF method and minimized in terms of SWR. DRR of excitation distribution is fixed at a lower value for further mitigation of the coupling effect. Phase distribution for all the elements is kept at zero degree for broadside array. Optimization results show the effectiveness of the algorithm for the design of the array. Moreover method seems very conducive for estimating the mutual impedance between any two collinear center-fed thin dipole antennas having sinusoidal current distributions.
