EFFICIENT 1-D SEPARABLE WEIGHTING METHOD FOR PLANAR SENSOR ARRAYS

摘要

PURPOSE: An effective one-dimensional separation weighted value application method for a flat sensor alignment is provided to implement a transmission beam characteristic in which a one-dimensional separation weighted value is applied. CONSTITUTION: A flat sensor alignment indicates two-dimensional matrix according to the state of a sensor (a). The number of effective sensors is obtained according to the state of the sensor (b). A one-dimensional design weighted value of a two-dimensional weighted value is designed, and the result weighted value of the real two-dimensional weighted value is obtained (c). The error of a target weighted value is obtained from the set two-dimensional target weighted value (d). When the design of the one-dimensional weighted value is changed according to the change of the effective sensor, the one-dimensional design weighted value is set to minimize each error (e). The one-dimensional separation weighted value is applied to the sensors of the flat sensor alignment (f). [Reference numerals] (a) Flat sensor alignment is expressed in a 2D matrix depending on the existence of sensors; (b) Number of valid sensors of the 2D matrix is calculated regarding the existence of sensors in the horizontal and vertical directions; (c) 1D design weighted value, which reflects a 2D weighted value reflecting the number of the valid sensors in the horizontal and vertical directions, is designed and the horizontal and vertical result weighted values of the actual 2D weighted value, which is realized through a design process, are calculated; (d) Differences between the horizontal and vertical result weighted values and a selected 2D target weighted value are calculated; (e) 1D design weighted value which minimizes errors in the horizontal and vertical directions is set as a 1D separation weighted value; (f) Set 1D separation weighted value of the horizontal and vertical directions is applied to the sensors of the flat sensor alignment
