Abstract

A new form of objective function is suggested for the problems of point optimization of complex radiation patterns of discrete antenna arrays. The function takes the properties of individual antenna radiators and the antenna array phase characteristic into account. Several examples of various antenna arrays help consider some properties of the point objective function and peculiarities of application of optimization of side lobes’ level using this function.
