%X In this work, the design of linear clustered arrays is addressed by means of a novel compressive  sensing  (CS)  methodology.  More  in  detail,  the  synthesis  of  the beamforming network (BFN) is recast within a total‐variation (TV) formulation aimed at  minimizing  the  discrete  gradient  of  the  array  excitation  weights.  A  set  of representative results is reported to verify the effectiveness of the proposed TV‐CS methodology  when  dealing  with  the  design  of  linear  arrays  with  non‐contiguous clusters.
