An Array Beampattern Synthesis Using Partial Constrained Adaptive Optimization

Abstract

One of the prominent studies conducted on the beamforming method is the Zhou and Ingram weighting function method. This method adaptively adjusts the weights of an array to meet the desired mainlobe beamwidth and sidelobe level. However, with the Zhou and Ingram method, it took up a considerably long computation time to adjust the desired sidelobe level. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new algorithm using partially constrained adaptation which allows us to circumvent this problem and easily meet the design specification.
