Aperiodic array synthesis using the Cross Entropy method

200 elements uniformly spaced, symmetrically weighted, x-axis linear array with principal plane in azimuth was thinned using the Cross Entropy to achieve a sidelobe power of less than -20 dB. And convergence properties for best and mean scores of population over 5000 trials were performed, then simulation results to synthesis were compared with the GA. It was first work utilizing the Cross Entropy method for solving electromagnetic optimization problems.
