Abstract
Simulated annealing and genetic algorithms are used for finding optimu m excitations for patterns with null-filling. These methods have the a dvantage that the optimum aperture distribution with a minimal variati on between excitations of adjacent elements is found without searching the entire solution space. A comparison between the performance of bo th methods shows that genetic algorithms are faster than simulated ann ealing, for this problem.
