Optimization of large arrays, which improves the eciency, plays an im-.portant role in acquiring signals in the acoustic eld. Recently, articial intelligence.algorithms, such as genetic algorithms (GAs) were widely used in sparse array optimiza-.tion for their excellent performance in global optimization. This paper proposes a new.initial deployment forming method: \random place assignment" and proposes new Cross.and Mutation rules in GA algorithm to improve the performance of acoustic array. The.improved GA algorithm reduces the amount of computation and increases the conver-.gence rate. The number of generations decrease from 30 [1,12] to less than 20 under the.same condition. Also the max side lobe level (max SLL) is reduced. Simulations are con-.ducted on a linear array composed of 200 isotropy or directional elements. For isotropy.elements, the max SLL is -27.06dB which is lower than [1](-22.09 dB),[3](-24.03),[8](-.23.05 dB) and [13] (-22.13 dB) when 77% of elements are left. While for directional.elements, the max SLL is -27.15dB, lower than [1](-23.69 dB)and [3](-25.25 dB when.75% of elements are left.The improved GA performs better than the previous methods in.terms of optimization for asymmetric line arrays. Furthermore, our algorithm is robust.to the directivity of elements and the steering angle of the linear array.
