R. Shavit et S. Levy, A new approach to the Orchard-Elliott pattern synthesis algorithm using LMS and pseudoinverse techniques, MICROW OPT, 30(1), 2001, pp. 12-15
A new approach to the Orchard-Elliott pattern synthesis algorithm based on
the least mean-square (LMS) technique and the pseudoinverse technique is de
scribed. The new algorithm offers better initial conditions and avoids poss
ible divergence problems throughout the iteration process. The array curren
t distribution obtained is optimized using a genetic algorithm. The effecti
veness of the new approach is demonstrated on a linear array with a symmetr
ic flat-topped radiation pattern. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
