Abstract
A method is described for the synthesis of planar array antenna patter ns where both the configuration and the excitation of each radiating e lement is determined from the desired contour, ripple, and side lobes of controlled height. The method is bused on a repetitive optimization procedure that obtains a very significant reduction in the number of elements that are excited establishing a marked improvement with respe ct to the corresponding techniques described in the prior literature.
