Enhancing Gain Through Optimal Antenna Element Distribution in a Thinned Array Configuration
This paper presents an array thinning approach for a 25-element antenna array arranged in a $5 imes5$ grid at 5.4 GHz.Our goal is to eliminate a maximum number of antenna elements with minor gain loss and hence reduce the array size, weight, cost, and power requirements.Consequently, the space saved by the thinned array configuration presents oppor
