The synthesis problem is approached within the power pattern domain, introducing an innovative clustering method with complex excitations. This method decomposes the reference power pattern into a series of elementary patterns, equal in number to the array elements. A selection of representative results is provided to demonstrate the approach's capabilities and to evaluate its performance with respect to the state-of-the-art (SoA) excitation matching (EM)-based clustering techniques.
