A customized version of the genetic algorithms exploiting ad-hoc operators devoted to keep constant the number of elements instantaneously active is applied to optimize the on/off status of the switches to maximize the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio at the antenna output. The performances of the technique have been analyzed varying the number of array elements and the number of interferences within a static scenario.}, url = {http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/645/}, keywords = {Evolutionary Optimization, Array Synthesis, Smart Antennas, Local Optimization, Analytic Sequences} }
