Improved compact Genetic Algorithm for thinned array design

A new strategy based on compact Genetic Algorithm (cGA) for the synthesis of linear thinned arrays is here proposed. In order to exploit all available knowledge from Almost Different Set (ADS) for thinned array to obtain very low peak sidelobe level (PSL) suitable probability vectors to represent the solutions have been introduced. As a proof of concept, several thinned arrays have been synthesized and the obtained results are here discussed
