Optimum Tilt Angles in Two Dimensional Phased Array Radar Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In phased array antennas, the number of radiator rows is one of the important factors to minimizing both cost and weight. Therefore, the antenna tilt angles having relation with the element spacing are among the important design parameters. In this paper, the optimum tilt angles for several types of dipole planar arrays are investigated theoretically. To obtain optimum tilt angles, the directivity equation including phase shift factors for planar arrays are calculated. key words: phased array radar, tilt angle

Evaluation of the Optimum Tilt Angles for Elevation-Scanned Phased-Array Radars
Antenna tilt angles having a relation to element spacings are among the important radar design parameters. The optimum tilt angles are derived theoretically: four types of uniform and nonuniform linear arrays are considered and Chebyshev array factors are used as a nonuniformly excited array case.
متن کاملReduction of Side Lobe Level of Thinned Phased Array Antenna using Genetic Algorithm
Thinned phased array antenna is useful for Radar and satellite communications. Main drawback of phased array antenna is generation of side lobes and grating lobes when the beam is titled from broadside direction toward the end-fire direction. This paper reports the optimization of thinned phased array antenna using genetic algorithm (GA). By varying the tilt angle form broadside direction main ...
متن کاملPerformance of Target Detection in Phased-MIMO Radars
In this paper, the problem of target detection in phased-MIMO radars is considered and target detection performance of phased-MIMO radars is compared with MIMO and phased-array radars. Phased-MIMO radars combine advantages of the MIMO and phased-array radars. In these radars, the transmit array will be partitioned into a number of subarrays that are allowed to overlap and each subarray transmit...
متن کاملWideband Capon Beamforming for a Planar Phased Radar Array with Antenna Switching Moon - Sik
Recently, there has been great interest in the development of advanced radar systems with phased arrays [1], [2]. In traditional multichannel radar array systems, the number of receivers should be equal to the number of receiving antennas, so the hardware expense and power consumption are very high [3]. A radar array system based on antenna switching is a promising substitute due to its lower c...

Abstract: The MIMO phased array radar is a theoretical concept for multi-sensor radar planning that combines elements of traditional phased-array radar with the developing technology of multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) radar. Space-time coding (STC) has been shown to play a key role in the design of Phased Array MIMO radar where MIMO radar can achieve improved localization performance by ...
