Lowering the Sidelobe Level of a Two-Way Pattern in Shared Aperture Radar Arrays
A study of lowering the peak SLL of shared aperture radar arrays is presented. A two-weight amplitude distribution for the elements of transmit and receive arrays is used. Imposing certain conditions, the relation of the number of elements of the arrays was found. One condition imposes the appearanc...

A two-weight amplitude distribution for the elements of transmit and receive arrays is used. Imposing certain conditions, the relation of the number of elements of the arrays was found. One condition imposes the appearance of a minor lobe position of transmit or receive array pattern at a certain null of receive or transmit array pattern. A second condition imposes the equal sidelobe level of two consecutive minor lobes either near the main beam of the two-way array pattern or at certain positions of receive or transmit array pattern.

A study of lowering the peak SLL of shared aperture radar arrays is presented. A two-weight amplitude distribution for the elements of transmit and receive arrays is used.
