Divisional exhaustive method applied to optimum thinning of linear arrays

In order to improve the actual effect of exhaustive method, which is applied to synthesize the linear thinned arrays (whose elements are thinned from the uniform grid), a new method of exhaustive method with divisional pre-processing is proposed in this article firstly, and then the Divisional Exhaustive (DE) is compared with other methods of optimizing arrays. Finally, the simulated results showing the performance (actual effect and advantages) of this method are presented.
