Leveraging the concept of self-replicating tile shapes, or rep-tiles, the proposed method allows the optimization of array layouts comprising tiles of different sizes. These tiles are generated by assembling smaller, congruent copies of a single elementary building block. Employing a deterministic optimization strategy, the resulting rep-tile arrangement in the planar PA achieves an optimal compromise among complexity, costs, and adherence to user-specified requirements for the radiated power pattern while ensuring complete coverage of the array aperture. publisher: ELEDIA Research Center - University of Trento date: 2020-12-07 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/875/1/A_Modular_Approach_for_the_Design_of_Phased_Arrays_Based_on_Self-Replicating_L-Shaped_Tiles.pdf identifier: ANSELMI, Nicola and TOSI, Luca and ROCCA, Paolo and MASSA, Andrea (2020) A Modular Approach for the Design of Phased Arrays Based on Self-Replicating L-Shaped Tiles.
