Abstract :
Design experiments compare taper-design approaches for a narrowband planar array of 10,000 or so elements on the triangular grid. Considered: a hexagonal-kernel McClellan transformation, a product of three 1D tapers, sampling Taylor´s circular aperture, and second-order cone programming.
