Antenna radiation patterns during operation in the very-short-pulse mode
Abstract
It is shown that during operation in the very-short-pulse mode (when the spatial size of a pulse is less than the antenna length) there occur significant changes (as compared to the long-pulse mode) of antenna radiation pattern and pulse shape in the sidelobe region. The interference maxima are found to be 'blurred' in widely spaced arrays. This makes it possible to increase the scanning range of synthetic-array sidelooking radars.
