PSEUDO RANDOM ARRAY INVESTIGATION
Abstract
This final report describes an investigation of thinned array antennas with unequally spaced elements. Several approaches to array design have been explored and guide lines established for designing arrays. The design techniques reported here include statistically designed density-tapered arrays, ring arrays, and the application of dynamic programming to array theory. The statistical analysis of arrays, the investigation of arrays from an energy concept and number theory have been used to predict average and peak sidelobe levels of antenna arrays in which elements have been removed. The techniques of thinning arrays 50, 70, and 90 percent have been verified by pattern measurements of several model antennas.
