%D 2024 %X This communication introduces a novel technique for the design of clustered phased arrays (PAs). The proposed strategy focuses on synthesizing complex excitations within the subarrays to achieve a desired power pattern. Several numerical test cases are presented to highlight the unique capabilities of the approach. %L elediasc12901 %I ELEDIA Research Center - University of Trento %K Clustered array, iterative projection method (IPM), k-means algorithm, linear array, phased array (PA), power pattern matching (PM). %A Arianna BENONI %A Lorenzo POLI %A Paolo ROCCA %A Andrea MASSA %T Novel Power Pattern Matching Technique for Clustered Phased Arrays: Focusing on Linear Arrays
