The method allows one to overcome the limitations of the standard ADS approach in terms of flexibility and performances. The numerical validation, carried out in the far-field and for narrow-band signals, points out that with affordable computational efforts it is possible to design array arrangements that outperform standard ADS-based designs as well as standard GA approaches.
