  • Abstract
    This paper describes the application of the optimization technique known as dynamic programming[1] to the design of "thinned" array antennas with unequal element spacings. Dynamic programming is a systematic procedure for efficiently utilizing the capabilities of modern high speed digital computing machines to find optimum solutions to problems not computationally feasible by conventional means. It is used here to determine the optimum configuration of element spacings to achieve a desired radiation pattern.
