摘要:In this paper, an improved array synthesis method with array errors is proposed for large aperture arrays. Because of the array errors such as amplitude-phase errors and positions errors, the performance of the array synthesis is reduced seriously. Firstly, the ideal fast low sidelobe synthesis method is obtained based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) method. Then, by using Taylor expansion to remove the coupling relationship between the position of the element and the scanning angle, the compensation matrix for the pattern function and the array weighted vector with amplitude phase and position errors are derived. At last, the conversion relationship between the array with errors and the array weight vector is corrected in the iterative process. The theoretical simulation experiments verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method for the linear array and rectangular array pattern synthesis. Then, the influence of Taylor expansion order on the pattern synthesis results is analysed.
