Abstract
A new stepwise and radially processed method for synthesizing uniformly distributed circular planar arrays with quantized weights is proposed in this paper. This method is based on a generalized analytical equation describing that for high directivity focusing arrays, minimizing the weighted mean square error between the reference pattern and the synthesized pattern is equivalent to minimizing the mean square error between the radial cumulative distributions of the reference distribution and the synthesized distribution. This principle has been successfully performed for designing large concentric ring arrays, and in this paper, we extend its use for synthesizing uniformly distributed planar circular arrays with quantized weights. Various numerical examples and comparisons with several reported statistical methods in terms of the lowest Maximum SideLobe Level (MSLL) demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
