Abstract
This thesis describes different classes of algorithms used in large coupled antenna arrays to produce a desired antenna radiation pattern by finding the proper excitation currents to apply on each antenna. Two type of methods are investigated: methods based on matrix computations and methods based on convex optimization. Those methods are applied to the SKA telescope and we show that they are well suited for a real life application.
