  • Abstract
    In this paper, a newly developed point-matching method is presented to obtain a set of excitation coefficients of a linear array that generates a desired radiation pattern with arbitrarily suppressed sidelobe levels. This method can be used for linear arrays with nonuniform spacing and nonisotropic elements. The design examples presented show that the point-matching method is both effective and efficient.
