Abstract
The modular design of planar phased arrays arranged on orthogonal polygon-shaped apertures is addressed and a new method is proposed to synthesize domino-tiled arrays fitting multiple, generally conflicting, requirements. Starting from an analytic procedure to check the domino-tileability of the aperture, two multi-objective optimization techniques are derived to efficiently and effectively deal with small and medium/large arrays depending on the values of the bounds for the cardinality of the solution space of the admissible clustered solutions. A set of representative numerical examples is reported to assess the effectiveness of the proposed synthesis approach also through full-wave simulations when considering non-ideal models for the radiating elements of the array.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
