ABSTRACT:
Jointly optimizing complex baseband FIR filters as element weights using second-order cone programming (SOCP) can synthesize a wideband array pattern having an arbitrarily polarized main beam with, in terms of L1, L2, L-infinity, or other norms, its frequency response flattened and cross-polarization components strictly limited across the entire beam. Sidelobes and SNR measures can be just as flexibly controlled. A high-level interface to a fast solver minimizes required programming.
