Abstract

In this paper, a new approach to the optimum synthesis of line source difference patterns is proposed for the monopulse tracking way antennas. In the Proposed scheme, which is different from the well-known Bayliss difference pattern synthesis, the difference patterns with the desired individual sidelobe levels are optimally synthesized by appropriately modifying the Taylor line source sum pattern formula. That is, the relationship between the difference pattern and the corresponding source distribution function is analytically established, and then the desired pattern and the distribution are simultaneously extracted by the optimum perturbation of pattern null positions. Furthermore this method provides more rapid sidelobe decay rates than conventional methods. Some numerical results show the validity and usefulness of the proposed procedures.

본 논문에서는 모노 펄스 추적용 배열안테나에서 주로 사용하는 선전원에 의한 차패턴 합성법을 새로이 제안한다. 제안한 방법에서는 잘 알려진 Bayliss의 차패턴 합성법과는 달리 Taylor의 선전원 합패턴 공식을 적절히 수정하여, 원하는 개별 sidelobe 레벨을 갖는 차패턴을 최적 합성한다. 즉, 차패턴과 해당 소스 분포함수와의 관계를 해석적으로 설정하고, 패턴이 갖는 null점을 최적으로 섭동시킴으로써 원하는 패턴과 해당 소스 분포함수를 동시에 도출한다. 더욱이 이 방법은 기존의 방법보다 빠른 sidelobe 감쇠율을 가지도록 한다. 수치적인 결과들로부터 제안한 합성과정의 타당성과 유용성을 보인다.
