What is antenna array synthesis?

The main target of antenna array synthesis is to achieve desired radiation pattern by controlling amplitudes, phases, and positions of the antenna array elements. The elimination of unwanted signals which can cause interference is probably the most important ability of antenna array synthesis techniques.

What are the methods used to improve the field pattern of the antenna arrays?

An improved antenna array pattern synthesis method using fast Fourier transform is proposed, which can be effectively applied to the synthesis of large planar arrays with periodic structure.

What is a phased array TV antenna?

Phased array antennas are a type of antenna array that comes with the feature of electronic steering to change the direction and shape of radiated signals, without any physical movement of the antenna.

What is phased array toolbox in Matlab?

Phased Array System Toolbox™ provides algorithms and apps for designing and simulating sensor array and beamforming systems in wireless communication, radar, sonar, acoustic, and medical imaging applications.
