  • Abstract
    A class of array optimization problems is considered in which we seek to optimize the array response in a specified angular sector. The optimization of array directivity is shown to be a special limiting case of these problems as the width of the specified angular sector approaches zero. The optimum array patterns are also shown to be related to the well-known prolate-spheroidal functions.
