Abstract: | An approach is presented to synthesize linear and planar antenna arrays to have concurrent multibeam radiation patterns as well as desired sidelobe levels. This approach is based on zeros perturbation of the pattern of linear arrays. Multibeam planar arrays are synthesized by both multiplying and transforming multibeam linear arrays. Besides, planar arrays having conical or ring type beam are synthesized by applying a special transformation to dual‐beam linear arrays. Some examples are brought to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach for both linear and planar arrays. |
