Strategies for Selecting Common Elements Excitations to Configure Multiple Array Patterns

Abstract
In this paper, a single linear antenna array with partially common element excitation amplitudes is used to reconfigure between Taylor-pencil beam and flat-top beam patterns. Two strategies are suggested to properly select the common elements while still satisfying the desired constraints on both patterns. The first strategy uses the central elements of the array as the common elements for the reconfiguration between the required two patterns, while the other one uses the side elements. Since the element excitation amplitudes of the corresponding Taylor and flat-top patterns usually tend to be maximum and similar at the array center, the central common elements approach outperforms the sided one. Compared with the conventional array pattern synthesized methods with completely two separable elements excitations arrays, only a single linear array with a number of common element excitations is needed in the proposed method. Hence, it has advantages of simple structure, low cost, and compact size. Simulation results show that the proposed array with the central common elements approach has the capability to efficiently reconfigure between Taylor and flat-top beams by modifying only 24 elements out of a total 40 array elements with all sidelobe levels of both patterns below -20 dB.
