Abstract
This work presents two new approaches for the design of sum and difference antenna array. The first approach considers a configuration of sub-arrays that minimizes a "residual error" functional, while the second one a configuration that minimizes a "gain sorting" functional. The obtained results show that by means of such methods difference pattern close to the optimal ones can be obtained with simpler feed networks
