Abstract

A pattern synthesis technique for arbitrary planar arrays which are characterised in terms of a generalised scattering matrix and whose radiated field is expressed as a spherical mode expansion is introduced. The procedure yields the complex-valued excitations to achieve a minimum-maximum sidelobe level given a specified pointing direction and mainlobe width, as well as prescribed field nulls. All inter-element coupling effects coming from complex radiating structures used as array elements are inherently taken into account. Numerical results are presented for arrays of dielectric resonator antennas.
