%0 Generic %A Oliveri, Giacomo %A Rocca, Paolo %A Massa, Andrea %D 2011 %F elediasc12:509 %T Analytic Techniques for the Design of Non-Regular Arrays %U http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/509/ %X The cost, weight, power consumption, mutual coupling effects, HW and SW complexity of large arrays can be greatly reduced by suitable non-regular array design techniques, that is by considering array designs with a low number of elements with respect to that of a half-wavelength equispaced array . Non-regular arrays, however, are known to exhibit higher peak sidelobe levels (PSL) if not suitably designed. As a consequence, design techniques able to control and reduce the PSL of non-regular arrays have been subject of research since their introduction. %Z This version is a pre-print of the final version available at IEEE.
