The a-priori information provided by analytical almost difference sets (ADSs) is profitably exploited by a customized stochastic optimization approach based on genetic algorithms (GAs). Such an ADSGA approach is able to overcome the current limitations of state-of-the-art techniques based on ADSs. Some numerical results are shown in order to assess the potentialities, as well as the limitations, of the proposed design methodology. publisher: ELEDIA Research Center - University of Trento date: 2018 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/770/1/ADS%E2%80%90Guided%20Design%20of%20Planar%20Thinned%20Phased%20Arrays%20Through%20Genetic%20Optimization.pdf identifier: Salucci, M. and Gottardi, G. and Anselmi, N. and Oliveri, G.
