There are many antenna array errors. They will distort the array beam pattern and result in an increased sidelobe level. A calibration technique is proposed for correcting the antenna array errors such as mutual coupling and unequal feeder characteristics. These are modeled as a matrix representing the interaction between the radiating elements. The matrix is estimated from the measured array response vectors. The antenna array errors are corrected by modifying the beamforming weight vector. It is verified by the electromagnetic simulation and experiment that the proposed technique reduces the sidelobe level and increases the antenna gain.

In this paper, the error sidelobe level and signal to noise loss from the numerical analysis using the modelling of quadrature coherent detector in the case that the channel imbalance and with local oscillator leakage is considered. From the numerical results, the error sidelobe level and signal to noise loss that with the gain and phase imbalance(0.8(dB)J5(dog)) is (-21.322[dB], -0.0071[dB]), (-11.6839[dB], -0.0059[dB]) in the case that the channel imbalance and with local oscillator leakage is considered.

A procedure for antenna parameter selections is proposed that considers the relationships between synthetic aperture radar performance and the antenna parameters of a parabola-type reflector antenna with a central flat dish. The effects of a central dish designed for weight reduction on the antenna beam pattern are also quantitatively analyzed using commercially available software based on the physical optics algorithm. The results of the theoretical analysis and simulation predict that a larger size of the central dish results in an increase in the sidelobe level, which is the reason for the increase in two important ambiguities, such as range ambiguity ratio (RAR) and azimuth ambiguity ratio (AAR). The dependence of RAR and AAR on Pulse repetition frequency is also analyzed and discussed.

In this study, we propose a new optimization algorithm for a withdrawal weighted SAW transversal filter to satisfy given, specifications such as bandwidth, ripple, insertion loss, and sidelobe rejection level. An analysis tool for the withdrawal weighted filter has been produced by means of the delta function model, and has been applied to the design of a filter consisting of an uniform input IDT and a withdrawal weighted output IDT. This optimization algorithm consists of three routines, which eventually determines eight design parameters to satisfy the performance specifications. At the first step, the number of input and output IDT fingers and their geometrical size are determined by the insertion loss specification. At the next step, the bandwidth is controlled by the change of the IDT finger position. Finally, the sidelobe rejection level is modified through the add/skip technique of IDT fingers. The algorithm in this paper is distinct from conventional techniques in that it can simultaneously consider all the specifications such as bandwidth, ripple, sidelobe rejection level and insertion loss, and optimize the geometry of the withdrawal weighted SAW filter.

This paper proposes slow wave structure(SWS) utilized to increase antenna gain of printed dipole antenna(PDA) and to suppress sidelobe level simultaneously, and makes sure of electrical characteristics of the antenna according to parameter variations of components of the slow wave structure. The printed slow wave structure which is composed of a dielectric substrate and a metal rods array is located on excited direction of the PDA, affecting the radiation pattern and its intensity. Parasitic elements of the metal rods are arrayed in narrow consistent gap and have a tendency to gradually decrease in length. In this paper, array interval, element length, and taper angle are selected as the parameter of the parasitic element that effects radiation characteristics. Magnitude and phase distribution of the electrical field are observed and analyzed for each parameter variations. On the basis of these results, while the radiation pattern is analyzed, array methods of parasitic elements of the SWS for high gain characteristics are provided. The proposed antenna is designed to be operated at the Wifi band(5.15~5.85 GHz), and parameters of the parasitic element are optimized to maximize antenna gain and suppress sidelobe. Simulated and measured results of the fabricated antenna show that it has wide bandwidth, high efficiency, high gain, and low sidelobe level.

In this paper, we derive and analyze the peak sidelobe estimator of the planar random array antenna by extending the theory of the linear random array antenna. The computer simula-tions, which are based on Monte Carlo method, are programmed and applied easily to cases where a great number of array elements are involved. The results obtained from the computer simulations show that there is a little difference of the maximum 0.8 dB. Consequently, the peak sidelobe estimator is well consistent with the results of the computer simulations over confidence level 0.5.

In this paper, we propose the low sldelobe digital doppler filter bank design algorithm which is practically applicable to coherent radar equipment in complex air-defense system. Using the proposed algorithm, we can obtain a digital doppler filter bank of lower peak sidelobe level and higher clutter suppression capability. In this method, it is possible to achieve higher target-detectability without loss of Target SNR. The proposed algorithms are verified by simulations and experiments.

Small size and low profile antenna for mobile vehicular-top-mounted is needed in satellite communication services such as DBS, Satellite Internet and VSAT. In middle latitudes, the development of an array antenna which has the conformal, low profile and 45 degree beam tilted configuration, and has the high gain with sharp beamwidth, low sidelobe and low loss is required for Ka band satellite communication. In this paper, in order to meet with these performances, an array antenna consisting of the vertical polarized waveguide longitudinal slots based on the leaky-wave mode of traveling wave antenna is proposed. Especially, for the lower sidelobe level the radiation power control using a design method of the different slot width is proposed. An array antenna consisting of 32 leakywave elements is showing 34.4 dBi of gain, 3.6 degree of beamwidth, below than -25 dB of sidelobe level, 43 degree of beam tilt angle in center frequency 20.0 GHz. Feed network designed by waveguide cooperated feed shows good performance of wideband and low loss.

This paper presents a monopulse feed structure with low sidelobe monopulse pattern, which consists of a E-plane corrugated horn and a unfiorm pick-up aperture power divider. Tfhe design methods and epxerimental resutls of the E-plane corrugated feeder are described. Modified hybrid mode analysis and GSM (generalized scattering matrix) methods are introduced to design the E-plane corrugated feed horns. The 24-port corrugated feeder is designed using modified hybrid mode analysis initially and verified using GSM methods. Measurement results show that this feeder has low return loss and sidelobe level at sum and difference channel, respectively.
