Antenna Synthesis

1. Basic principle for antenna synthesis

2. Line source synthesis (Fourier transform, woodward-lanson sampling)

3. Linear array synthesis (Fourier series, woodward-lanson sampling)

4. Low sidelobe synthesis (Dolph-Chebyshev, Taylor)

Page 18: Antenna synthesis

Synthesis Problems

Given affordable SLL, No. of elements, how to synthesize?

Ideal case: narrow beam, constant side-lobe envelope

Approaches: Dolph-Chebyshev, Taylor Line Source….

Secret behind: to synthesize a polynomial like pattern….

Tapering of Arrays

Page 33: Antenna synthesis

Tapering may not reduce sidelobes.

• The dish antenna theory: Tapering of the current distribution at the apperture leads to the side lobes decrease.

• This statement may not be true at the case of the arrays. Tapering is multiplication of the UV coverage with the tapering function. So at the image plane, it leads to the convolution of the untapered beam pattern with the Fourier transform of the tapering function. The convolution leads to the broadening of the main beam as well of the sidelobes. But the level of sidelobes may not be reduced, if the distance between the sidelobes is bigger than the width of the Fourier transform of the tapering function
