Abstract :
An alternative approach, based on an iterative least-squares optimization technique, for the design of antenna arrays exhibiting equal side lobes in their radiation patterns is presented. For a given number of elements equispaced by a constant amount, the algorithm returns the excitation currents under the condition that all side lobes are at the same level. The results show excellent agreement with those reported using other approaches
