Design and Analysis of Thinned Array Pattern Reconfigurable Antenna to Enlarge the Scanning Range by Zhangjing Wang, Xing Fan, Haijuan Cui, Shaoqiu Xiao

“…The pattern of the proposed array can be properly adjusted by changing the weighted function and the amplitude of the weighted factor, which obviously releases new degrees of freedom in array design. It has advantages such as low side lobe level (SLL) in the visible region, no grating lobes, and low nearby side lobe level (NSL), which has good potential for wide-angle scanning. …”
