Abstract :
In this paper, an innovative two-step PSO-based approach has been presented for the synthesis of sub-arrayed time-modulated arrays. First, the BEM have been used to determine the "best" sub-array configuration, while the PSO has been successively exploited to optimize the pulse sequence in order to minimize the power losses in SR.
