Synthesis of unequally spaced arrays using dynamic programming

The application of dynamic programming to the synthesis of unequally spaced symmetrical antenna arrays is further investigated. The design criterion is to obtain a combination of elements, in a quantized aperture which has the lowest value of the peak sidelobe level over a specified angular interval. A 25- element array in an aperture length of
50\lambda
is synthesized, and it is shown that the designs obtained are considerably superior to those obtained by other investigators using different techniques.
