The analysis applies a fitting phase coefficient for the elements, such that the radiated signal power of each element is coherently added in the far-field region of a specified target direction with net destructive interference occurring in all other regions to suppress sidelobe behavior. The analysis also applies characteristic modal solutions in which element radiators are used independently to deliver both sum and difference beams. Sum-difference radiation patterns are generated and analyzed for suitability in applications such as amplitude monopulse scanning, the direction of arrival estimation, and target tracking. We observe that the inherent randomness of the antenna array distribution alleviates typical half-wavelength spacing requirements for grating-lobe-free scanning. Tapering of the pattern is accomplished by confining the distribution to a quadratic U or convex probability topology.","PeriodicalId":371560,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (AP-S/URSI)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116751560","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}

Two antennas are designed using this concept to achieve full-azimuth beam steering over a narrow bandwidth. The idea is to use the first two non-degenerate circular waveguide modes (TE11 and TM01) and synchronize them to achieve a desired interference pattern on the waveguide cross section. Slots are then introduced into the waveguide to allow radiation along the azimuthal direction where the two modes add constructively. Using an orthomode transducer, the polarization of the TE11 mode is rotated, by modulating the amplitude of the two signals at each port, to achieve full-azimuth beam steering. This technique is therefore fundamentally different from the traditional methods of beam steering that use mechanical control or phase control.","PeriodicalId":371560,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (AP-S/URSI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129869252","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}

However, the electric field distributions in the coronal slice for the prone posture models are higher than from supine posture model.
