%L elediasc12646 %T Reconfigurable thinning for the maximization of the SINR in adaptive linear arrays %K Evolutionary Optimization, Array Synthesis, Smart Antennas, Local Optimization, Analytic Sequences %X In this report, an easily-reconfigurable and low-complexity antenna architecture is considered where a set of radio-frequency switches is exploited to either connect or disconnect the array elements for controlling the radiation pattern and generating deep nulls along the directions-of-arrival of the undesired signals. The mathematical formulation together with a preliminary validation of the adaptive nulling strategy are proposed. %D 2014 %I University of Trento %A L. Poli %A P. Rocca %A M. Salucci %A A. Massa
