A hybrid method for synthesizing antenna's three di mensional (3�) pattern is proposed to obtain the low sidelobe feature of truncated cone conformal phased arrays. In this method, the elements of truncated cone conformal phased arrays are pro jected to the tangent plane in one generatrix of the truncated cone. Then two dimensional (20) Chebyshev amplitude distribution optimization is respectively used in two mutual vertical directions of the tangent plane. According to the location of the elements, the excitation current amplitude distribution of each element on the conformal structure is derived reversely, then the excitation cur rent amplitude is further optimized by using the genetic algorithm (GA). A truncated cone problem with 8 x 8 elements on it, and a 3D pattern desired side lobe level (SLL) up to 35 dB, is studied. By using the hybrid method, the optimal goal is accomplished with acceptable CPU time, which indicates that this hybrid method for the low side lobe synthesis is feasible.
