An Effective Deterministic Procedure for the Synthesis of Shaped Beams by Means of Uniform-Amplitude Linear Sparse Arrays

A rigorous deterministic approach is proposed for the mask-constrained power pattern synthesis of shaped beams through one-dimensional sparse arrays having uniform-amplitude excitations (and variable phases). The approach includes the well known density taper procedure as a special case. The corresp...

Zusammenfassung:A rigorous deterministic approach is proposed for the mask-constrained power pattern synthesis of shaped beams through one-dimensional sparse arrays having uniform-amplitude excitations (and variable phases). The approach includes the well known density taper procedure as a special case. The corresponding technique, which exploits an analytical formulation of the problem and convex programming routines, results in fast computation and is able to achieve optimal solutions without recurring to any global optimization. Numerical results assessing the capabilities of the proposed design method are provided, opening the way to the development of an effective approach for the synthesis of circularly symmetric shaped beams via uniformly-excited circular ring arrays.
