The synthesis problem is recast as an optimization problem by defining a suitable cost function based on the constraints on the side lobe levels. A subarray configuration is considered and the excitations of the difference pattern are approximately determined. The optimization problem is efficently solved by a differential evolution algorithm, wich is able to contemporarly handle real and integer unknowns. Numerical results are reported considering classic array configurations previusly assumed in the literature. date: 2003-07 type: Technical Report type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/573/1/043.pdf identifier: Caorsi, Salvatore and Massa, Andrea and Pastorino, Matteo and Randazzo, Andrea (2003) Synthesis of sum and difference patterns for monopulse antennas by an hybrid real/integer-coded differential evolution method.
