Synthesis of a uniformly spaced linear antenna array with symmetric amplitude excitation by a least-squares method

الملخص EN

A new, non-iterative technique for synthesizing equispaced linear arrays with symmetric excitation is proposed.

The methods is on the computation of an eigenvector of an appropriate real, Symmetric and positive-definite matrix.

This technique can be used to determine, given a n complete description of the desired radiation pattern, the array excitation coefficients .

These derived excitation will produce, either exactly or approximately, the wanted antenna radiation pattern, depending on its complexity and the number of my elements.

A number of design examples are presented to illustrate the practicality and the potential of the proposed method.
