  • Abstract
    A graphical-deterministic procedure for the synthesis of linear sparse arrays is presented. The procedure is based on a quasi-analytical null-matching strategy allowing designing linear arrays with an arbitrary number of elements. The elements of a linear array may be graphically traced using, as a supporting frame, a continuous curve representing the complex cumulative signature of a reference pattern visualized in a null direction.
