Ja. Rodriguez et F. Ares, SMOOTH, EFFICIENT REAL AMPLITUDE DISTRIBUTIONS WITH NO EDGE BRIGHTENING FOR LINEAR AND CIRCULAR NEAR-TAYLOR SUM PATTERNS, Electronics Letters, 34(7), 1998, pp. 611-612
The authors report the application of the simulated annealing optimisa
tion technique to the synthesis of radiation patterns approximating li
near and circular Taylor sum patterns by means of real aperture distri
butions with amplitudes that vary smoothly and show no edge brightenin
