Abstract :
The authors propose a novel iterative method for synthesizing radiation patterns of linear arrays with arbitrary sidelobe envelopes, with nonisotropic elements, and with nonuniform spacing between elements. Various design examples are presented and compared with other methods. It is shown that the proposed iterative method converges rapidly and yields superior results over other methods
