Abstract
This work generalizes the alternating projection approach (APA) to synthesize wideband frequency-invariant (FI) beam patterns for linear nonuniformly spaced arrays (NUSAs). Different from the conventional APA where excitation weights are synthesized for a desired pattern at single frequency, the generalized APA intends to find appropriate finite-impulse response (FIR) filter coefficients for each antenna element to provide the required wideband frequency-dependent excitation for a desired wideband FI pattern, and two modification techniques called mainlobe FI modification and wideband sidelobe control are introduced in each iteration to successively update the FI pattern performance. Several examples for synthesizing wideband FI beam patterns for NUSAs in different applications are conducted to verify the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed generalized APA.
