In the last few years, valuable research in frequency diverse arrays (FDAs) has been conducted. However, emphasis had mainly been on uniform linear arrays (ULAs) and uniform rectangular arrays (URAs). Not much attention has been devoted to other configurations. Circular symmetry of uniform circular arrays (UCAs) has been an attraction to researchers for several reasons such as the ability to scan azimuthally through 360° and better spatial resolutions. Motivated by the potential advantages of UCA, this letter presents an in-depth investigation of circular geometries in FDA radars. In this letter theory, analysis and basic beam steering in uniform circular frequency diverse arrays (UCFDAs) is presented along with comparison with linear and rectangular counterparts.
