Time Modulated Planar Arrays Analysis and Optimization of the Sideband Radiations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the minimization of the power losses due to undesired sideband radiations in time-modulated planar arrays is dealt with. A closed-form expression for evaluating the total power wasted in the sideband radiations is obtained and exploited to design a new procedure based on a Particle Swarm Optimizer for the synthesis of the pulse sequences devoted to control the array time-modulation. A set of representative results is reported and analyzed to assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this paper, the synthesis of sparse time-modulated linear arrays with minimum number of elements and controlled harmonic radiations is investigated. The proposed iterative approach based on a particle swarm optimization is aimed at finding the array configuration with the minimum number of elements and the optimal pulse sequence that affords a beam pattern with the same features of a referen...
متن کاملPattern Synthesis in Time-modulated Linear Arrays through Pulse Shifting
In this paper, an innovative approach for the synthesis of time-modulated linear array antennas is presented. The switch-on instants of the time-modulated elements are taken into account as additional degrees of freedom to optimize the array pattern. Towards this end, a technique based on a Particle Swarm Optimization is proposed to fully exploit the dependence of the sideband radiations on the...
متن کاملSynthesis of Simultaneous Multiple-Harmonic-Patterns in Time-Modulated Linear Antenna Arrays
In time-modulated antenna arrays (TMAAs), as a result of periodical switch-on and switchoff of the antenna elements, including operating frequency (termed as center frequency) signal, sideband signals are appeared at either sides of the center frequency in integer multiples of the modulation frequency. In this paper, it is shown that without using phase shifters, just by suitably controlling th...
متن کاملModification of Sidelobe Canceller System In Planar Arrays (RESEARCH NOTE)
A Side Lobe Canceller (SLC) structure is a conventional partially adaptive technique which is used in large adaptive array radars. If a desired signal has long time duration in comparison with the SLC adaptation time, signal components may be cancelled. So, this paper presents a modified SLC which eliminates desired signal cancellation problems and allows using an unconstrained adaptive algorit...
