The structure of the algorithm means that it is well suited to the design of weighted thinned arrays with low current taper ratios (CTRs). A number of test problems from the literature are considered, and in each case, the IFT produces results with improved sidelobe level (SLL) at lower CTR.enArray antennasThinned arraysLinear arraysIterative fourier techniqueArticleDu Plessis, W.
