Abstract :
Minimum redundancy linear arrays (MRLA) are widely used in radio astronomy, microwave radiometry, radar and other fields. Based on the Fourier properties of arrays with optimal co-array properties, the co-array properties of MRLAs with minimum sidelobe level are presented for the first time, validated by simulations of different MRLAs with 5~9 elements. The upper bound of the peak sidelobe level (PSL) of a MRLA is also derived.
