Abstract :
Basic antenna array theory is outlined with major emphasis on pattern analysis and synthesis for periodic linear and planar arrays, phased arrays, and conformal arrays. Extension is made to synthesis techniques which use computer algorithms. These include arbitrary sidelobe control, shaped beams, and phase-only null steering. The subjects of random errors and phased array quantization errors are outlined
