A pattern synthesis method for arbitrary arrays based on the linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) criterion is presented. Given mainlobe regions and an arbitrary sidelobe envelope, this algorithm searches the pattern with the lowest sidelobe levels. Its iteration coefficient is robust to synthesis conditions, and patterns with a flat top mainlobe can be obtained using phase-independent derivative constraints.
