full_text_status: public
monograph_type: technical_report
keywords: Clustered array, iterative projection method (IPM), k-means algorithm, linear array, phased array (PA), power pattern matching (PM).
abstract: 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.
