Abstract:
In this paper, we present a new technique to solve array pattern
synthesis problems by using semidefinite programming. We first
formulate (or reformulate) the array design problems into
semidefinite programming problems, and then use the recently
developed efficient numerical algorithms and software to compute the
numerical solution of antenna array weights. Using this approach,
we can directly solve not only the standard synthesis problems for
nonuniform arrays, but also the synthesis problems for arrays having
power restrictions and uncertainties. Numerical examples are
presented to illustrate our approach.
