Random Beam Patterns from Linear Arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of linear microphone arrays with randomly spaced elements is investigated. The probability distribution function for the element positions is derived in the continuum limit by matching the response of the array to an objective beam function. An analysis of the expected value and variance of the beam is presented as a function of the angular direction. Comparison of these metrics to those generated from uniformly distributed array positions is conducted. The number of elements and random ensembles required to meet a desired sidelobe level is obtained. It is found that using a probability density function of a particular beam pattern can reduce the side lobe levels of the random samples of the transducer position. Keywords—transducer arrays, transducers

Phase-Only Synthesis of Antenna Arrays Using Nonuniform Phased Sampling Method
Nonuniform Phased Sampling method is proposed to phase-only synthesize the power pattern of both linear and planar antenna arrays. This method modifies the conventional sampling method which is used for amplitude-phase synthesis. This method is based on assigning suitable phases to the sampling points of radiation pattern in order to reach desired amplitude of currents. Some examples are given ...
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...

In this paper two linear arrays including a linear 1×4 and a planar 2×2 of microstrip patch and half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity hybrid antenna are introduced and investigated. These are simply implemented using low cost single layer printed circuit board (PCB) process. The array element consists of a rectangular microstrip patch with appropriate dimensions in the vicinity ...
متن کاملArray Pattern Control and Synthesis
Antenna array distributions and their associated patterns are now designed on physical principles, based on placement of zeros of the array polynomial. An overview of the synthesis processes is given. Robust and low Q distributions for linear arrays and circular planar arrays, that provide variable side lobe level pencil beam patterns, are treated in detail. Associated difference patterns are i...
متن کاملWriting and reading perpendicular magnetic recording media patterned by a focused ion beam
We have written and read bit patterns on arrays of square islands cut with a focused ion beam into granular perpendicular magnetic recording media. Using a static write–read tester, we have written square-wave bit patterns on arrays of islands with sizes between 60 and 230 nm, matching the recording linear density to the pattern period. These measurements reveal the onset of single-domain behav...
