Abstract :
This correspondence proposes a method for array pattern synthesis of a concentric ring array that yields invariant array pattern over a certain frequency band for beamforming in three dimensions. The proposed method uses the Fourier-Bessel series to determine the weights from different rings to form the overall array pattern. Simulation examples are given to illustrate the proposed method.
