Optimal synthesis of reconfigurable planar arrays for monopulse radar applications: Use of subarrays and distributions with common aperture tail

Abstract An approach for the synthesis of sum and difference patterns in monopulse antennas is described. The proposed approach provides a significant reduction in the complexity of the beam‐forming network that is fulfilled by reducing the number of array elements and keeping the elements at the ed...
