Abstract :
A novel method of random array synthesis is presented. This new method relies on the application of the underlying self-similarity inherent in random fractals to the problem of antenna array theory. Several examples demonstrate the synthesis procedure and its usefulness in producing robust, low sidelobe arrays.
