Synthesis of multilobe array-antenna patterns with controlled levels, phases, and polarization of the pattern maxima

A method for the synthesis of the amplitude-phase distribution over an array antenna, which uses embedded element patterns and ensures formation of a multilobe pattern with controlled levels, phases, and polarization of the lobe maxima, is developed. Numerical studies are performed by the example of an array of rectangular waveguides with vector patterns. The results of these studies confirm the efficiency of the proposed solutions.
