abstract = "Airborne, atmospheric radars need to detect the presence of relatively weak weather echoes near the earth's surface. In order to accomplish this, both antenna sidelobes and range-time sidelobes must be suppressed considerably. This paper focuses on antenna sidelobe suppression by means of using a genetic algorithm to optimize both the thinning of the transmit aperture and the receive taper simultaneously in order to get desirable two-way sidelobe levels.",
