Abstract
This paper presents several variants of the approach which can determine near-optimal radiation patterns under the constraint that the apertures (and therefore currents) for the elements do not overlap. Computational examples show that some of the methods can consistently provide performance which rivals that achievable with the optimal results for overlapping currents.
