A lot of research is being carried out to reduce side lobe levels (SSLs) in the radiation pattern of antenna arrays. A number of novel optimization techniques have been developed over the years and adapted for this purpose. In this paper, a number of window functions are applied to suppress the maximum side lobe level (MSLL) in linear antenna arrays. The window functions Bartlett, Taylor, Hanning, Barthann, Hamming, Gaussian, Blackman, Chebyshev, Blackman-Harris and Kaiser are considered in the simulation. The optimized pattern for a 10 element linear antenna array and corresponding normalized window tappers for every window are presented. Finally the efficiency of all windows is compared in terms of their computed parameters.
