Abstract:
Current phases optimization in circular arrays consisting of 8, 16 and 20 isotropic radiators was carried out. As a result of such optimization with constant excitation amplitudes was decreased from -8 dB to -(21-28) dB. Tables with optimized radiators exciting currents amplitude-phase distributions as well as 2D and 3D antenna arrays directivity plots were presented.
