The proposed approach is able to overcome the current limitations of state-of-the-art analytical thinning methods for planar apertures. Some numerical examples will be shown in order to verify the features and the potentialities of the proposed ADSGA design technique. publisher: ELEDIA Research Center - University of Trento date: 2018 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/767/1/A%20Novel%20Approach%20for%20the%20Design%20of%20Planar%20Thinned%20Arrays%20Based%20on%20Genetic%20Algorithms%20and%20Almost%20Difference%20Sets%20.pdf identifier: Salucci, M. and Gottardi, G. and Anselmi, N. and Oliveri, G.
