  • Abstract
    The robustness of the analytical thinning based on almost difference sets (ADSs) is analyzed when faulty elements are present in linear arrays. Peak sidelobe level (PSL) statistics of the damaged layouts are numerically inferred from representative simulations dealing with different aperture sizes and element failure rates.
