Low Sidelobe Polarization Tapers for Planar Arrays
Daniel W. Aten and Randy L. Haupt
Department of Electrical Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, USA
This paper presents a technique that optimized the orientation of each dipole in an array to minimize the sidelobes in the co-polarization pattern. A genetic algorithm calls a planar array cost function modeled using Feko Suite 5.1. The technique is demonstrated with a 6 by 6 and 10 by 10 planar arrays.
