Abstract. The new iterative method of antenna array synthesis according to requirements to the amplitude preassigned radiation pattern is substantiated. The offered method due to simplification of iterative procedure provides a considerable gain in comparison with classical gradient methods of synthesis, what is shown during comparison of offered and existing methods.

Keywords: antenna array, radiation pattern, amplitude-phase synthesis, phase synthesis, gradient.
