Abstract :
This paper outlines a general method for the factorization of a polynomial with unity coefficients into a product of sparse polynomials with fewer nonzero coefficients with unity values. The factorization method is then used to design sparse antenna arrays with uniform and linearly tapered effective aperture functions.
