On the radiation properties of ADS-thinned dipole arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
The results of a full-wave analysis of the performances of ADS-based thinned arrays of wire dipoles are presented. The pattern features of the ADS layouts are numerically evaluated by considering different aperture sizes, lattice spacings, and dipole lengths. The outcomes are that, despite a slight and expected performance worsening, the a-priori PSL bounds deduced for the “ideal” case still provide useful guidelines for the design of ADS thinned layouts featuring real dipole elements.

On the Impact of Mutual Coupling Effects on the Psl Performances of Ads Thinned Arrays
Abstract—In this paper, the performances of thinned arrays based on Almost Difference Sets are analyzed in the presence of mutual coupling effects. The geometry under test is composed by thin dipole elements and the arising mutual interactions are modeled by means of the induced EMF method. To assess the robustness of the ADS -based thinning technique also in such a non-ideal case, an extensive...
متن کاملSynthesis of Thinned Planar Concentric Circular Antenna Arrays — a Differential Evolutionary Approach
Circular antenna array design is one of the most important electromagnetic optimization problems of current interest. The problem of designing a large multiple concentric planar thinned circular ring arrays of uniformly excited isotropic antennas is considered in this paper. This antenna must generate a pencil beam pattern in the vertical plane along with minimized side lobe level (SLL). In thi...
متن کاملGa-enhanced Ads-based Approach for Array Thinning
This paper proposes a Genetic Algorithm (GA)-enhanced Almost Difference Set (ADS)based methodology to design thinned linear arrays with low peak sidelobe levels (PSLs). The method allows one to overcome the limitations of the standard ADS approach in terms of flexibility and performances. The numerical validation, carried out in the far-field and for narrow-band signals, points out that with af...
متن کاملFast Synthesis of Planar, Maximally Thinned Arrays
In this paper a method for a fast synthesis of planar, maximally thinned and steerable arrays is proposed and tested on several benchmarks available in literature. The method optimizes simultaneously the weight coefficients and sensor positions of a planar array without using global optimization schemes, properly exploiting convex optimization based algorithms. The resulting arrays are able to ...
متن کاملSynthesis of Thinned Concentric Ring Array with Dipole Radiators Using Firefly Algorithm
The application of new metaheuristic approach, Firefly algorithm, for the thinning of large multiple Concentric Circular dipole arrays is presented. A nine-ring Uniform Circular antenna array with central element feeding is considered. To analyze the effect of thinning, optimization is carried out with and without pre fixing the percentage value of thinning. The performance of the array in term...
