Abstract :
A method for the synthesis of two-dimensional aperiodic antenna arrays with a low sidelobe level is suggested and studied. It extends Leeper´s (1978) approach to the synthesis of linear arrays based on cyclic difference sets. The method reported here is based on a new combinatorial construction called generalised two-dimensional difference sets. Ways of constructing such sets and the basic features of the antennas obtained are considered.
