Abstract EN
This paper proposes an alternative and innovative way to design a simpler beamforming network (BFN) based on balancing alternated power combiners and dividers, to feed a nonuniformly spaced linear array with Gaussian amplitude and coherent (in-phase) signals.
Thus, a two-beam design configuration of the feeding network for a nonuniform array with beam steering capability is proposed and analyzed.
The nonuniform aperture and the complex inputs of the feeding network are optimized by means of a differential evolution algorithm.
In addition, a comparative analysis between a uniform and nonuniform linear array with the proposed feeding network is performed.
Simulation results show the advantages and effectiveness of the proposed feeding network exploiting the nonuniformity of the antenna elements, in terms of side lobe level and directivity.
Furthermore, research results show an inherent reduction in hardware complexity of the network.
