title: A Design Procedure for Sum and Difference Patterns by Means of Reactive Sorting Algorithm
ispublished: pub
subjects: TU
full_text_status: public
abstract: A new approach for the synthesis of both sum and difference antenna pattern is proposed. The approach allows to obtain an optimal sum pattern and a sub-optimal difference pattern through the search of a minimal cost path inside an incomplete binary tree.
