  • Abstract
    This paper investigates the effects of amplitude dynamics on the operation of coupled oscillator arrays. The free running frequencies for achieving constant phase progression and arbitrary amplitude distribution are developed. A code structure that implements the system dynamics is suggested. Numerical results show that amplitude dynamics have significant effects on main beam errors and the side lobe levels if non-uniform amplitude distribution is employed.
