This version contains some minor grammatical corrections. Published version is available onlineThe use of the density-taper approach to initialise a genetic algorithm is shown to give excellent results in the synthesis of thinned arrays. This approach is shown to give better SLL values more consistently than using random values and difference sets for initialisation.enThinned arraysElectromagneticsSidelobe levelEfficient synthesis of large-scale thinned arrays using a density-taper initialised genetic algorithmConference PresentationDu Plessis, W.
