Optimized non-uniform linear antenna arrays

摘要

This disclosure relates to linear antenna arrays and methods for configuring linear antenna arrays. The disclosed linear antenna array comprises a linear antenna base and at least four antenna groups. Each antenna group comprises one or more antenna elements electrically connected to the antenna base. The at least four antenna groups are located along the linear antenna base according to a projection of multiple points of an arch onto the linear antenna base. The multiple points of the arch define respective radii, wherein the linear antenna base is a chord of the arch, and the multiple points of the arch are distributed along the arch such that an angle between two adjacent radii is equal to the angle between any other two adjacent radii.
