Abstract :
This paper reports the synthesis of two-dimensional time-domain antenna arrays for steerable energy patterns and minimization of side lobe level. The study is focused into the uniform and non-uniform geometries. The synthesis is based on the well-known sequential quadratic programming. The obtained results show the capabilities of the different antenna arrays to steer the beam in both azimuth and elevation planes with low side lobes.
