Synthesis of Irregular Phased Arrays Subject to Constraint on Directivity via Convex Optimization

The synthesis of irregular phased arrays subject to constraint on directivity is fulfilled by convex optimization. In particular, based on the membership between the antenna elements and subarrays, the dictionary matrix, the resulting sparse excitation vector, and the sparse binary vector are introduced to describe the array pattern and exact tiling of the aperture. Therefore, the synthesis of irr...
