The goal of the effort is to theoretically analyze and numerically develop a technique which can be used in fast analysis of beam forming networks. The examples chosen are three, six, and eight networks, but the technique is general enough to handle N /spl times/ N networks. Consideration is given to the development of a CAD (computer-aided design) tool to get the output of the network when all characteristics of the elements as well as all interconnections are assumed to be known. Corresponding radiation patterns can be obtained when the outputs are connected to radiating elements. Two numerical methods are considered, the event driving method and the matrix multiplication method. The first has been shown to be more efficient than the second.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":138141,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"34 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113994091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model used evaluates the effects of long correlation intervals on the received pattern by taking into account both the vertical terrain deformation and the effects of local ground tilt on the element pattern. A typical no-error pattern exhibits a -40 dB Taylor weighted sidelobe structure. Without beamformer compensation for terrain irregularities, the sidelobe performance is degraded to the -25 dB level. Using a beamformer compensation optimized for 10/spl deg/ elevation at azimuth boresight, the sidelobe performance is nearly fully recovered. The results obtained are very promising, and suggest that future OTH receive antenna ground preparation costs can be significantly reduced.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":138141,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133181803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
