This method, as in the previous work, is performed through the use of the Simulated Annealing technique, which allows to perturb the complex roots of the pattern in order to achieve the desired specifications. An example developed below demonstrates this accomplishment.engSimulated annealingAntenna radiation patternsAntenna synthesisjournal articleopen access10.1163/156939303322520124
