Synthesis of shared aperture thinned interleaved arrays with elements in concentric rings by Zhigang GU, Longjun LI, Jikuan HU

“…Among planar array antennas, concentric ring array (CRA) antennas have received considerable interest since it is symmetric and provides invariant beam pattern for 360° azimuthal coverage.In case of limited antenna aperture, there is great value to thinned interleaved CRA with low peak side lobe levels and a narrow main beam.The application of the cubic interpolation and density-weighting method in shared aperture array design was demonstrated by the low peak side lobe level synthesis of CRA.By adopting the Fourier-Bessel transform the relationship between the element’s excitation and array pattern, thinned interleaved problems were formulated as time-frequency synthesis problems.On the basis of the density-weighting method, element excitations of interleaved sub-array were carefully selected in an odd-even manner, which ensured the pattern matching of the generated sub-array.The iterative FFT algo rithm was adopted to thin the concentric ring array.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a favorable thinned and interleaved concentric ring array design with matched power patterns and low peak sidelobe levels.The problem of thinned and interleaved concentric ring arrays is solved, and the design of multi-function shared aperture thinned interleaved arrays with elements in concentric rings is realized.…”

Privacy-preserving time-varying formation control of multi-agent systems under multi-sensor multi-rate sampling mechanism by Jiqing Luo, Husheng Fang, Jing Zhang, Shengli Song

“…This paper investigates the privacy-preserving time-varying formation control under multi-sensor multi-rate sampling mechanism for MASs. Firstly, since leader state measurement is not entirely available in cyberspace for all followers, a distributed adaptive leader observer is constructed for each follower to estimate the state and parameter matrix of leader; Secondly, the information exchange strategies is designed based on Paillier encryption algorithm between followers to prevent their privacy from being leaked to internal and external eavesdroppers; Finally, due to the introduction of a multi-sensor and multi-rate sampling mechanism, some sub-states of the agent are discontinuous, a time-varying formation control scheme with Privacy-Preserving is designed by constructing dynamic estimator for each follower. …”
