Abstract
This paper demonstrates the application of genetic algorithms (GAs) in array pattern synthesis. GAs have the ability to escape from local minima and maxima and are ideally suited for problems where the number of variables is very high. We present three examples: two for linear arrays and one involving linear and planar arrays.Keywords
