%T A Power Pattern Matching-Driven Clustering Method for Phased Array Design: The Linear Array Case %X This paper proposes an advanced method for designing a clustered phased arrays (PAs) driven by the synthesis of subarray complex excitations to achieve a far-field power pattern that closely matches a given reference pattern. Numerical results are provided to show the potentialities and effectiveness of the proposed strategy. %K Clustered array, iterative projection method (IPM), k-means algorithm, linear array, phased array (PA), power pattern matching (PM). %I ELEDIA Research Center - University of Trento %A Arianna BENONI %A Lorenzo POLI %A Paolo ROCCA %A Andrea MASSA %L elediasc12900 %D 2024
