Abstract :
This paper presented the wideband method that can efficiently compute weights that minimize the SLL over a wide frequency band. This method is valid for an arbitrary broadside planar array and for an arbitrary beamwidth. There may be a significant rise in the overall SLL when extending the array to the wideband case.
