title: Synthesis of Monopulse Antennas through the Iterative Contiguous Partition Method
ispublished: pub
subjects: TU
full_text_status: public
abstract: The synthesis of “optimal” compromise sum and difference patterns subject to arbitrary sidelobe bounds is addressed by means of a simple and effective sub-arraying technique based on the optimal excitation method. The obtained results positively compare with those from state-of-the-art methods both in terms of performances and computational indexes. This paper is a postprint of a paper submitted to and accepted for publication in Electronics Letters and is subject to Institution of Engineering and Technology Copyright.
