Conformal Arrays

Conformal antennas lack of general analysis methods of their radiation properties. For a circumference source, we examine the role of the angular width of the observation domain both in far and near zone in determining the set of radiated fields. By an inverse problem approach, the evaluation of the number of independent pieces of information, i.e. the number of degrees of freedom (NDF), and the analysis of the reconstructions of point-like sources allow to introduce optimal array configurations. The results are relevant to the radiation pattern synthesis problem and to array diagnostics applications.

An iterative convex optimization (ICO) algorithm is proposed to solve pattern synthesis problem under the framework of dual-polarized conformal arrays in this paper. The subproblems of shaping main lobe, optimizing side lobe, and suppressing cross-polarization component are summarized as a joint optimization problem. To solve this problem, the nonconvex constraint about main lobe is rewritten as a convex constraint, which will bring error. And an auxiliary phase function is introduced to correct this error alternatively. Due to the deviation between auxiliary phase and real phase of pattern function, a method minimizing the peak of the synthesis error over observation angles is effectively applied to further improve the performance of the method. Numerical examples show good pattern synthesis ability and convergence performance of the ICO method.
