Abstract
This letter presents a fast exponential analysis and variable projection method to reduce the number of elements in linear phased arrays. The numerical examples given in this work demonstrate a reduction of approximately 20% or 10% in the number of elements, with only a slight decrease in directivity of 0.63 dBi observed for a scan range of $[-45^\circ,45^\circ ]$. Compared with the combined matrix pencil and Tabu search algorithm, the proposed technique converges in fewer iterations and exhibits $\approx {\text{5}}$ dB reduction in maximum sidelobe level.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
