Synthesis of Taylor and Bayliss Patterns for Linear Antenna Arrays.

Abstract

The history of synthesis techniques for designing linear antenna arrays with low sidelobe patterns is reviewed briefly, and the limitations that are encountered with very low sidelobes and/or small arrays are pointed out. Taylor's continuous aperture synthesis procedure is outlined, and a technique for transforming it for application to a discrete array is described. Discrete-array design equation for Taylor and Bayliss synthesis procedures are given. A set of programs for use on a programmable calculator are presented. (Author)
