Abstract The modified cross entropy algorithm and the program flow were proposed based on the combination of fuzzy C mean clustering algorithm and traditional cross entropy algorithm. This algorithm was successfully used in unequallyspaced arrays synthesis, whose number of array element are respectively 6, 8, 10, and 12, and solved the multiobjective optimization problems of the peak sidelobe level and beam width in the field of unequallyspaced array synthesis. In the corresponding cases, the balance curves to peak sidelobe level and beam width of unequallyspaced arrays were proposed.Optimization shows that, given the beam width and the number of unequallyspaced array elements, the peak sidelobe level of unequallyspaced array was decreased by nearly 30% compared with equallyspaced array. In the uniform array beyond the cutoff distance, the algorithm more efficiently and accurately found tradeoff to peak sidelobe and beamwidth.
