AV - public UR - http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/509/ Y1 - 2011/01// TI - Analytic Techniques for the Design of Non-Regular Arrays N2 - The cost, weight, power consumption, mutual coupling effects, HW and SW complexity of large arrays can be greatly reduced by suitable non-regular array design techniques, that is by considering array designs with a low number of elements with respect to that of a half-wavelength equispaced array . Non-regular arrays, however, are known to exhibit higher peak sidelobe levels (PSL) if not suitably designed. As a consequence, design techniques able to control and reduce the PSL of non-regular arrays have been subject of research since their introduction. ER -
