An elliptical array composed of 10 uniform elliptical apertures as the radiating elements is presented. Assume that each aperture in an electric conducting plane spreads on the elliptic orbit and is fed by the uniform plane wave in order to obtain a low SLL array pattern with high directivity. The elliptic orbit eccentricity and the angular position of each array element are stimulated. The applied parameters are determined by an elaborate optimization procedure. The utilized procedure comprising the geometric computational technique (GCT), and angular positions excitation (APE) is stated in detail, respectively to determine a satisfactory eccentricity and the angular position of each element.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
