This analysis demonstrates enhanced directivity and reduced amplitude dynamic range in nonuniformly excited arrays, suggesting improved performance over traditional designs.
Nonuniformly Excited and Unequally Spaced Arrays (NEUSA) are synthesized optimally. These general type of linear antenna arrays are synthesized to have maximum directivity and minimum Amplitude Dynamic Range (ADR) for a specified sidelobe level (SLL). For this purpose, both positions of antennas and the excitation currents of antennas are considered variable and are optimized simultaneously. A relation is obtained for calculating directivity of NEUSAs versus their amplitude and positions. The presented method is investigated by a comprehensive example. The optimum synthesized arrays have both higher directivity and lower amplitude dynamic range than both equally spaced arrays and uniformly excited arrays.
