It consists of replacing the signals from failed array elements using reconstructed signals from other elements in the array. The method can be applied in the presence of a multiplicity of external noise or jamming signals to provide low sidelobe control for each signal. It involves only linear processing that must be performed at a rate compatible with the information bandwidth. The procedure can improve sidelobe against interfering signals at the expense of reduced signal-to-noise ratio compared to an error-free array.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":138141,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"115 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":"125575429","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}

This improvement in VSWR is at the expense of only a 3 dB decrease in element efficiency. The decrease in efficiency can be directly controlled by the value of the resistive loading. The element has been implemented in a printed circuit array fed by tapered line baluns operating over a 4:1 frequency band. Measured input impedance data vs. loading value is presented, as well as the radiation pattern variation over the band.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":138141,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"12 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":"126763305","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}
