The invention discloses an active phased array radar antenna subarray division method. The method includes the steps of firstly, acquiring an array element distribution form, an array element distance and an array element number, and calculating a coordinate vector; secondly, acquiring a weighted vector; thirdly, calculating the weighted vector through a genetic algorithm to obtain an initialization clustering center; fourthly, performing clustering division on the initialization clustering center to obtain an active phased array radar antenna subarray division form, and calculating the fitness evaluation function of the active phased array radar antenna subarray division form; fifthly, presetting a threshold, and judging whether the fitness evaluation function exceeds the threshold or not; if not, terminating. The active phased array radar antenna subarray division method has the advantages that the method fuses the genetic algorithm and a fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm, the advantages of the two algorithms brought into full play, and a genetic clustering algorithm is provided.
