The advantages of each method are discussed. It is shown that, when the biconjugate CG-FET (BiCG-FFT) works, even for lossless cases, its CPU time performance is quite comparable with RATMA. Since the FFT is a highly vectorizable scheme, implementation of CG-FET or BiCG-FFT on a parallel processing machine will increase the efficiency and save much computing time. However, that this is only for a single incidence angle. If different incident fields are considered, one needs to go through the whole process again for CGM or BiCGM. However, RATMA is valid for any incident field from any angle.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":289865,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium 1992 Digest","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127411798","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}

With four-step amplitude coefficients in an array of about 800 elements, a maximum SLL of -35.1 dB is obtained in all cuts.

The objective of any NF-FF algorithm must be the optimal estimate of the far field, i.e. the estimate corresponding to the minimum reconstruction error compatible with the incomplete and corrupted measured data and the available information. The optimal NF-FF algorithm also minimizes the number of measurements and the computational effort, making it possible to account for the probe effect without additional computational complexity. Moreover, it should not be connected to a particular scanning surface, in order that positioning error can be easily accounted for. As an example, the evaluation of the far field of a planar array of 21*21 x-oriented electrical dipoles, in the z=0 plane, spaced lambda /2 apart and directed along x is considered.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":289865,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium 1992 Digest","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130677686","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}

In the numerical simulation of the aperture and horn antenna, the amount of this shift can be predicted, and it has been confirmed by the numerical results. Based on a comparison between the theoretical and predicted results, a simple algorithm was developed to improve the accuracy of the numerical results.

It is noted that photonics has some advantages that assure it a place in array control. In digital control signal distribution and RF power distribution, one can expect to see early applications of photonic technology. Control signal distribution complicates present-day arrays, and is a relatively simple function to do photonically. RF signal distribution using photonics can, in principle, have the required accuracy, but losses in modulation and detection will require its use with solid-state modules. The cost and reduction in dynamic range may limit this application for some systems. The use of photonics to provide time delay has great potential for wideband arrays, but is not without competition from digital beamforming systems, and does not readily admit to adaptive control.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":289865,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium 1992 Digest","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130778653","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}
