abstract: The cost, weight, power consumption, mutual coupling effects, HW and SW complexity of large arrays can be greatly reduced by suitable non-regular array design techniques, that is by considering array designs with a low number of elements with respect to that of a half-wavelength equispaced array . Non-regular arrays, however, are known to exhibit higher peak sidelobe levels (PSL) if not suitably designed. As a consequence, design techniques able to control and reduce the PSL of non-regular arrays have been subject of research since their introduction.
