Control of Sidelobes in Cylindrical Arrays.

Abstract

Low sidelobes patterns in cylindrical arrays are synthesized through the use of an artificially-created noise jammer environment: pattern/excitation pairs are generated by an exact formal process so as to maximize the signal-to-jammer noise ratio. Sidelobe levels (or beamwidth) and rate of decay are controlled by proper selection of the jammer angular distribution; this latter process is somewhat heuristic. (Author)
