Computer technique for theoretical analysis of beamformers and arrays
Abstract
This report documents a computer program which simulates the beamforming process of a planar array. It uses the physical characteristics, electrical shading characteristics and other factors to obtain detailed information of theoretical beam structures. Amplitude and phase coefficients can be varied to study main and side lobe structures for steered/unsteered and/or spread/unspread beam patterns.
