Abstract :
This paper describes how the space-tampered linear array, designed to achieve a given linear distribution, can be extended to circular arrays. In linear array, Taylor distribution and uniform-amplitude array elements is used to approximate it. Spacing of the element is done so that the width associated with each element matches the scaled integral of the distribution along the same length. Each array element samples half spacing on each side.
