In this paper, a new configuration of Tapered Slot Antenna (TSA) with improved radiation pattern is proposed and studied. This antenna is designed in the form of a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) array with respect to side lobe level constraints. For side lobe reduction, a simple quasi-triangular distribution is proposed and is accomplished uniquely by means of 3 dB power dividers. A 12-wa...

A design problem of uniform linear antenna arrays for maximal side lobe level reduction with the constraint of a fixed beam width is dealt with. This problem is modelled as a simple optimization problem. The method of tabu search is used to determine an optimum a set of weights of antenna element that provide a radiation pattern with maximal side lobe level reduction with the constraint of a fi...

-This paper discusses the deployment of Genetic algorithm optimization method for synthesis of antenna array radiation pattern in adaptive beam forming. The synthesis problem discussed is to find the weights of the antenna array elements that are optimum to provide the radiation pattern with maximum reduction in the side lobe level. This technique proved its effectiveness in improving the perfo...

polyphase is a common class of pulse compression waveforms in the radar systems. oppermann code is one of the used codes with polyphone pattern. after compression, this code has little tolerant against doppler shift in addition to its high side lobe level. this indicates that the use of oppermann code is an unsuitable scheme to radars applications. this paper shows that the use of amplitude wei...

We propose a new approach to control the amplitude and phase distributions of electromagnetic fields over the aperture of a horn antenna. By loading a metamaterial lens inside the horn antenna, a tapered amplitude distribution of the aperture field is achieved, which can suppress the side-lobe radiations of the antenna. The metamaterial is further manipulated to achieve a flat phase distributio...
