Optimizing Antenna Array Geometry for Interference Suppression

The determination of an optimum antenna array geometry for suppressing interference is addressed. An optimization problem is derived whose solution yields an optimum array geometry for a given interference environment. A specific example is solved via the Simulated Annealing Optimization algorithm and results are presented for arrays of varying configurations
