Abstract
Simulated annealing is applied to the synthesis of arrays in order to reduce the peaks of side lobes by acting on the elements´ positions and weight coefficients. In the case considered, the number of array elements and the spatial aperture of an unequally spaced array are a priori fixed. Thanks to the high flexibility of simulated annealing, the results obtained for a 25-element array over an aperture of 50λ improve those reported in the literature
