Power Synthesis of Mask-Constrained Shaped Beams Through Maximally-Sparse Planar Arrays
Abstract: A new approach to
the optimal synthesis of planar arrays able to radiate mask-constrained shaped
beams by exploiting the minimum number of radiating elements is presented. By
taking advantage from both the recent theory of Compressive Sensing and the
multiplicity of equivalent solutions available for the generation of an unique
shaped-beam power pattern, the synthesis results extremely fast and effective.
In particular, the overall design is reduced to a Convex Programming
optimization, with the inherent advantages in terms of solutions’ optimality
and computational burden.
