Abstract

Abstract In this paper, some conventional filtering windows are modified and applied to uniform concentric circular antenna arrays (UCCA) for spatial smoothing and sidelobe reduction. The modified windows are applied to individual rings of the array that will taper the corresponding current amplitudes. The resulted sidelobe level, beamwidth and stability for amplitude errors are discussed for the different proposed tapering windows where it shows a sidelobe reduction to about 49 dB as in the case of Binomial UCCA while the Hamming window shows the most immunity to tapered amplitude errors.
