Abstract
[Abstract] Equispaced linear arrays that have uniformly excited central elements and monotonically decreasing flanking segments have been shown to yield low-sidelobe patterns with specified constraints on the effective radiated voltage (ERV). An analytical method for generating these distributions using a constrained least-squares (CLS) method, with restrictions on both the peak amplitude of the elements and the ERV, has been discussed in a previous work. Simulated annealing (SA) is a versatile global-optimization technique that can be effectively used for similar purposes, but can also provide additional control over some other design parameters. In this paper, we inspect both methods—indicating some of their advantages and drawbacks—through some numerical results.
