Starting from the knowledge of the array elements with failures, the on–off behavior of the switches at the other elements is properly reconfigured to radiate a pattern as close as possible to the ideal one in terms of pattern features. The array reconfiguration is carried out by solving an optimization problem through the minimization of a suitable cost function proportional to the mismatch between ideal and reconfigured pattern features. date: 2014 publisher: University of Trento referencetext: [1] L.
