Performance Studies of Antenna Pattern Design using the Minimax Algorithm

摘要

To guarantee service quality, it is desirable to shape the antenna pattern so that it provides uniform gain over the intended service region. This paper investigates the performance of the beam pattern with respect to different relative weight and step-size decay rate. The beam shaping design example used in this paper demonstrates how the Minimax algorithm shapes the antenna mainlobe to circular and elliptical beams with different relative weight. The array antennas used in this simulation study are 148 and 244 elements non-uniformly spaced antennas.
