Tiling optimization of orthogonal-polygon shaped aperture for phased array antennas

This work presents an innovative tiling optimization strategy for arbitrary orthogonal-polygon shaped apertures. An exhaustive search approach, together with a multi-objective strategy, has been used in order to obtain optimal tiling configurations, jointly optimizing two different pattern features of interest. A simple example validating the proposed method has been finally reported.
