SOCP design of monopulse sum and difference beams
for a uniform circular array

- ABSTRACT:
-
Classical sum and difference beams for angle
measurement in amplitude-comparison monopulse systems
are constructed by adding and subtracting narrow beams
slightly offset in pointing angle. Here instead beams
with sum and difference behavior in azimuth are
synthesized using second-order cone programs
applicable to any array for which embedded complex
element patterns are known. The computational example
here is specific to a uniform circular array (UCA)
because it uses embedded element patterns obtained by
rotating a prototype pattern through angles uniformly
spaced around the circle. That prototype was computed
through electromagnetic simulation of a UCA of simple
patch elements.
