摘要:An improved antenna array pattern synthesis method using fast Fourier transform is proposed, which can be effectively applied to the synthesis of large planar arrays with periodic structure. Theoretical and simulative analyses show that the original FFT method has a low convergence rate and the converged solution can hardly fully meet the requirements of the desired pattern. A scaling factor is introduced to the original method. By choosing a proper value for the scaling factor, the convergence rate can be greatly improved and the final solution is able to fully meet the expectations. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
