Abstract :
A monopole Electronic Steering Passive Array Radiator (ESPAR) antenna for continuous wave RCS measurement is proposed in this paper. A novel robust sidelobe Reduction (SLR) adaptive algorithm is used to optimize the reactive load for each passive element. Simulated results show that the monopole ESPAR antenna has good capacity of pattern steering in azimuth.
