Antenna Array Pattern Synthesis in the Presence of Near-Zone Scatterers
Abstract
This report results from a contract tasking Universidae De Santiago De Compostela as follows: The contractor will investigate techniques of simulated annealing and/or genetic algorithms of an N-element array to synthesize a desirable far-field electromagnetic radiation pattern. The approach will take into account polarization, sidelobe topography, dynamic range ratio in the aperture distribution, and the bandwidth for both linear and planar array pattern synthesis. The contractor will consider infinite and finite scatterers, and conduct a comparative study on the results obtained using near-field nulling and those obtained using direct synthesis in the presence of the scatterers.
