Abstract
A design procedure for thinning of radar antenna arrays is presented. The removed elements are clustered in small groups of 2×2 elements. The area of these groups can be used for additional applications in the same aperture. It is shown that due to random choice of the thinned area (between 5% to 10%) the RMS side lobe level is reasonably enlarged.
