Abstract :
A genetic algorithm has been used for null steering in phased and adaptive arrays. It has been shown that it is possible to steer the array nulls precisely to the required interference directions and to achieve any prescribed null depths. A comparison with the results obtained from the analytic solution shows the advantages of using the genetic algorithm for null steering in linear array patterns
