Abstract
A new array antenna synthesis method, which we call the
virtual array
synthesis method, is presented. In this method the
excitation values of a
virtual array are synthesized using some known synthesis
method. The
geometry of the virtual array can be chosen so that there
will be a
suitable synthesis method for that geometry and the
synthesis of the
virtual array can be done accurately enough. In the
synthesis method
presented the excitation values of the virtual array are
transformed into
the excitation values of the actual array geometry.
Matrix operations are
simple and large arrays can be easily synthesized.
