Abstract
We describe the use of the simulated annealing optimization method to intro duce minimal modifications in the excitations and/or geometries of planar a nd circular are antenna arrays so as to depress the radiation pattern in ar bitrary directions while maintaining side lobe levels and beamwidth.
