Research on the Optimization of Elevation of Array Radar

Abstract

The paper proposes an optimization method of the elevation of antenna array based on the analysis of the detection power of radar system from the point of view of radar system design. The method builds the direct relationship between the radar system design and the elevation of the antenna creatively. The elevation is optimized for a typical radar system covering airspace by theoretical derivation and simulation analysis. The elevation obtained by this method can reduce 6.6% of the radar system scale, compared with the vertical array. Meanwhile, the paper simulates the
