Pattern Synthesis for Arbitrary Arrays Using an Adaptive Array Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new pattern synthesis algorithm for arbitrary arrays based on adaptive array theory. With this algorithm, the designer can efficiently control both mainlobe shaping and sidelobe levels. The element weights optimize a weighted L2 norm between desired and achieved patterns. The values of the weighting function in the L2 norm, interpreted as imaginary jammers as in Olen and Compton’s method, are iterated to minimize exceedance of the desired sidelobe levels and minimize the absolute difference between desired and achieved mainlobe patterns. The sidelobe control can be achieved by iteration only on sidelobe peaks. In comparison to Olen and Compton’s method, the new algorithm provides a great improvement in mainlobe shaping control. Example simulations, including both nonuniform linear and planar arrays, are shown to illustrate the effectiveness of this algorithm.

Development a New Technique Based on Least Square Method to Synthesize the Pattern of Equally Space Linear Arrays
Using the sampled data of a desired pattern is a common technique in pattern synthesizing of array factor (AF) of antenna arrays. Based on the obtained data matrix, Least Square Method (LSM) is used to calculate the exciting coefficient of array elements. The most important parameter, which involves the accuracy and complexity of calculation, is the sampling rate of the desired pattern. Classic...
متن کاملReduction of CRB in Arbitrary Pre-designed Arrays Using Alter an Element Position
Simultaneous estimation of range and angle of close emitters usually requires a multidimensional search. This paper offers an algorithm to improve the position of an element of any array designed on the basis of some certain or random rules. In the proposed method one element moves on its original direction, i.e., keeping the vertical distance to each source, to reach the constellation with les...
متن کاملPhase Only Synthesis of Antenna Patterns Using Iterative Restoration Methods
In this work, the method of iterative Fourier transform phase reconstruction, conventionally used in holography and optical image reconstruction, is applied to phase only synthesis of antenna patterns. The method is applied to two types of pattern synthesis problems: "main lobe beam shaping" and "side-lobe-level reduction". The proposed method is most useful in the efficient employment of attai...
متن کاملModification of Sidelobe Canceller System In Planar Arrays (RESEARCH NOTE)
A Side Lobe Canceller (SLC) structure is a conventional partially adaptive technique which is used in large adaptive array radars. If a desired signal has long time duration in comparison with the SLC adaptation time, signal components may be cancelled. So, this paper presents a modified SLC which eliminates desired signal cancellation problems and allows using an unconstrained adaptive algorit...
متن کاملAntenna array pattern synthesis via convex optimization
We show that a variety of antenna array pattern synthesis problems can be expressed as convex optimization problems, which can be (numerically) solved with great eeciency by recently developed interior-point methods. The synthesis problems involve arrays with arbitrary geometry and element directivity, constraints on far and near eld patterns over narrow or broad frequency bandwidth, and some i...
