The mixed architecture composed by a static independent BFN for the sum beam and a sub-arrayed TMA for the difference one is used for both the approaches. In the first approach, the sub-array configuration is determined by only minimising both the mismatch between the optimal/desired difference pattern and the actual one, whereas in the second approach the joint minimization of the SR power has been additionally carried out. A set of representative numerical results is reported to illustrate the effectiveness and the numerical efficiency of the proposed approaches. date: 2014 publisher: University of Trento referencetext: [1] E.
