Abstract
Simulated annealing is applied to the synthesis of arrays in order to reduce the peaks of side lobes by acting on the elements' positions an d weight coefficients. In the case considered, the number of array ele ments and the spatial aperture of an unequally spaced array are a prio ri fixed. Thanks to the high flexibility of simulated annealing, the r esults obtained for a 25-element array over an aperture of 50 lambda i mprove those reported in the literature.
