Synthesis of Non Mirror-symmetrical Far-Field Patterns Using Two
Parallel Current Sheets
Abstract
The direct array factor synthesis method is extended in this paper. Two
parallel current sheets are used for synthesizing array factors with non
mirror-symmetrical radiation patterns in the two sides of the sources.
Analysis shows that the synthesized current distributions are affected
by the distance between the two current sheets. Numerical results
demonstrated that the method is efficient for synthesizing large scale
antenna arrays with non mirror-symmetrical footprints.
