Synthesis of the radiation pattern with specified 3D contour of the main lobe in antenna arrays with complex control

Abstract

The problem of the matrix synthesis of an antenna array with complex control with the use of a generalized energy functional is solved. It is shown that the proposed solution of the synthesis problem is more general than well-known solutions and enables formation of a specified array complex pattern with required shape of the main lobe with consideration for local requirements on the phase pattern of the antenna array. Results of a numerical experiment performed by the example of a multielement antenna array with complex control, which confirm potentialities of the synthesis method, are presented.
