Abstract
The equivalent of a Taylor pattern for continuous apertures is developed for discrete arrays. This array factor can be realized exactly, since it belongs to the appropriate class of patterns. A method for determining the element excitations is also presented. As an example, the pattern and excitations are calculated for a 41-element array with <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">\bar{n} = 6</tex> and a 25 dB design sidelobe level. Comparison is made with the patterns obtained by applying root matching and sampling of a continuous Taylor aperture.
