In this paper, time modulation is applied to a small number of elements of a linear array that radiates either sum or difference patterns, in order to take control over their sidelobe levels. The simulated annealing (SA) technique helps to obtain the optimum time pulses applied to such elements in terms of sideband minimization. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
