Abstract
It is common to produce sum patterns from array antennas. These patterns are basically symmetric with one main lode in bore sight and symmetric sidelobe structure around the main beam. The antennas associated with the marine radars are required to produce patterns with asymmetric side lobes. Asymmetrical patterns are very useful for marine radars when ships sail in turbulent water where roll and pitch exists.In particular the sidelobes in one side are lower than those of the other side. It is also essential to produce difference patterns with asymmetric structure from the boresight direction. These patterns are required to have null in the bore sight and high difference slope in the same direction. When these patterns are required from marine radars, the side lobes associated with the difference pattern on the either side of the boresight is at the different heights. In the present work, such useful patterns are generated from the newly designed arrays. The amplitude and phase distributions are designed for small and large arrays. The radiation patterns are numerically computed and they are presented in udomain. Keywords—asymmetric patterns, arrays; array antennas; marine radars; amplitude and phase distributions.
