Abstract
The range and angle information of the frequency diverse array (FDA) cannot be exclusively determined at the output of the array because of the range-angle coupled transmit beampattern. The best decoupling approach is to form a dot-shaped beam-pattern rather than the S-shaped beampattern of the basic FDA. Considering the degradation of the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) caused by the coupled beampattern, we propose a dot-shaped beamforming method based on the analyzed overlapping subarray-based using a logarithmic offset and a subarray-based planar FDA using a logarithmically increasing frequency offset, with elements transmitting at multiple frequencies. Several simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in transmit energy focusing, sidelobe suppression and array resolution.
