The synthesis process operates within the power pattern domain, employing a novel complex-excitation clustering strategy. Results are provided to showcase the effectiveness of this method, demonstrating improvements over benchmark results from excitation matching (EM)-based clustering techniques.}, url = {http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/898/}, keywords = {Clustered array, iterative projection method (IPM), k-means algorithm, linear array, phased array (PA), power pattern matching (PM).} }
