  • Abstract
    The equivalent of a Taylor pattern for continuous apertures is developed for discrete arrays. This array factor can be realized exactly, since it belongs to the appropriate class of patterns. A method for determining the element excitations is also presented. As an example, the pattern and excitations are calculated for a 41-element array with \\bar{n} = 6 and a 25 dB design sidelobe level. Comparison is made with the patterns obtained by applying root matching and sampling of a continuous Taylor aperture.
