Calculating the distances between the elements of the non-uniform array is usually carried out through its parametric optimization using the computational algorithms. In this paper, a simplified method is introduced and tested for determining the distances between the neighboring elements of the equal-amplitude non-uniform linear array that provides a significant increase in the array directivity while preserving the array thinning. The developed method allows both choosing the element spacing on the non-uniform linear array aperture and ensuring an increase in the array directive gain without applying the computational algorithms.
