Correlation Processes in Antenna Arrays. Part 2, Series 60, Issue 371

Abstract

INVESTIGATIONS CONCERN THE USE OF STATISTICAL CORRELATION TECHNIQUES IN COMBINING THE VOLTAGES INDUCED ON THE ELEMENTS OF A RECEIVING ANTENNA ARRAY. Analysis was made of the nonlinear processes in these arrays when both signal and distributed noise sources are present. The effect of distributed noise was analyzed, resulting inAN EXPRESSION FOR ELEMENT SPACING WHICH WILL MINIMIZE THE UNDESIRED NOISE VOLTAGE INDUCED ON THE ARRAY. Channel capacities of linear and of nonlinear arrays were then compared. These results are employed to construct nonlinear arrays which will optimize the S/N or will provide a minimum beamwidth in the antenna directional pattern.
