SYNTHESIS OF TAYLOR AND BAYLISS

PATTERNS FOR LINEAR ANTENNA ARRAYS

INTRODUCTION

The requirement for low sidelobes from array-type antennas is a long-standing one. Thecontributions to this theory extend from Dolph's utilization of Chebyshev polynomials, throughTaylor's papers on linear and circular apertures, Bayliss's extension to difference-type patterns, andfinally to recently developed techniques which provide arbitrary pattern control for linear arrays[1-81.

The purpose of this report is to examine some of the more recent applications of these syn-thesis techniques in light of their limitations and also the computational capabilities which are nowavailable. For example, at the time Taylor published his synthesis procedure, engineers had onlyslide rules, mathematical tables, and mechanical desk calculators to generate the distribution func-tions. The computational capability available to today's engineer is vastly different, and we willshow how Taylor's and Bayliss's procedures can be modified to give better results.

A more careful look at the synthesis procedures previously mentoned is presented in Table 1.

Dolph's synthesis is precise and gives minimum beamwidth for given sidelobe levels, but theseconstant amplitude sidelobes are not desirable for larger arrays because it is possible to radiate mostof the energy into the sidelobes. Taylor solved this problem by allowing the far-out sidelobes to falloff as dictated by an amplitude discontinuity at the ends of the aperture. Taylor, and later Bayliss,synthesized continuous distributions and sampled these to obtain array excitations.

Some recent applications have called for lower sidelobes and smaller arrays, thereby pressingthe limitations of the Taylor and Bayliss synthesis procedures. The problem of discretizing contin-uous aperture distributions has been treated 19-101. The technique used in this report is differentfrom those of Winter and of Elliott, but it is mathematically related to Elliot's technique.

REVIEW OF TAYLOR SYNTHESIS PROCEDURE

A brief review of the Taylor synthesis procedure is given here. The key to this procedure is theequal-sidelobe pattern function which is the continuous-aperture analog to the Chebyshev polyno-mial pattern for arrays:

E(u) = cosir -/ -A 2 , (1)

where u = 7ra sin 0 /X, a is the length of the aperture and 0 is the angle measured relative to thenormal to the array. This function has a maximum value of cosh 7rA at u = 0 and unit sidelobesextending to u = ± oo. Taylor showed that the pattern of Eq. (1) is not physically realizable from acontinuous aperture distribution, just as the Dolph array excitation becomes increasingly impracti-cal in the limit of large arrays. His brilliant solution to this problem was:

1. For all zeros of the synthesized pattern functions, which we will call E,(u), from the nthfrom the origin to -, the locations will be the same as those from a uniformly illuminated apertureof the same size. That is,

E(u ) = 0 for u = n for n .

2. For the first 11 - 1 zeros, their locations will be determined by the zeros of E(u), scaled sothat the nth zero is located at u = -f.

The aperture distribution is determined by performing a Woodward synthesis of Es(u). That is,we define a set of functions of the form

F,(u) = sin (u - n)wr/(u - n)ir,

and then construct Ea(u) from the Fn(u)

00

E8(U)= E E,(n)F n(u)" (2)

Since we have defined E,(n) 0 for n ff, Eq. (3) becomes

Es(U) = E E(n)Fn(u)" (3)

n--n+l

That is, A(x) is a weighted sum of integrals of the form,

The continuous aperture distribution given by Eq. (6) is sampled to give the element excita-tion values for a discrete array. This last step is approximate, and the pattern function of the arrayis obviously different from E,(u). This approximation is acceptable provided that the number ofelements in the array is much greater than i-and the sidelobe level is not extremely low. Figure 1is an example of a case in which the synthesis procedure gives an unsatisfactory result. For a side-lobe level of 50 dB below mainbeam and 1h = 8, a 30-element array has the computed patternfunction shown. The near-in sidelobes are unduly low, whereas the first eight sidelobes shouldbe about the same level.

ARRAY PATTERN FUNCTIONS IN TERMS OF ZEROS

Elliott used a synthesis technique which relates the discrete array distribution directly with thearray pattern [9]. We also use this relationship, and our procedure achieves identical results withthose of Elliott. However, the actual computations are different, and it is desirable to compare thetechniques.

Elliott expresses the pattern function as a polynomial in w, where w = eJ( 21rs/X)sin 0. Thezeros of this polynomial are given by wn, which are normally located on the unit circle. Once hehas the wn properly adjusted, he completes the synthesis by multiplying out the product expression,n(w - wn ), into the polynomial. The coefficients of the polynomial are the excitations of thearray elements.

Our procedure also uses the pattern function zeros in a product expression. Since thepatterns are symmetric, our expression can be of the form, H(cos z - cos zn), wherez = (21rs/X) sin 0. We cannot multiply this product expression out to obtain the coefficientsdirectly since we require terms of the form cos nz rather than cos nz. Rather, we carry out asynthesis exactly analogous to that used by Taylor. Uniformly spaced pattern function samplesare found by using the product expression. These pattern samples are used in a Fourier series tofind the array illumination.

The procedure relies on the equivalent location of pattern function zeros for the line sourceand for the discrete array. Whereas the zeros for the pattern of a uniform line source distribution arelocated at u = n, the analogous relationship for a discrete array is z = ntr/N, where z = 2ws sin 0/X,where s is element spacing and N is the number of elements in the uniformly excited array.

The transformation of Taylor's procedure is easily seen to consist of locating the zeros instep 1 above at z = nv/N forn > fand then scaling the first W zeros of Eq. (1) so that the ith zerois located at z = -r/N.

Appendix A lists the resulting equations for Taylor arrays of both even and odd N, andAppendix B lists the equations for Bayliss arrays (yielding monopulse difference patterns) of botheven and odd N. Figure 2 is an example of a Taylor array pattern with sidelobe levels of 50 dB withn- = 8 and N = 30. These equations can be straightforwardly programmed for automatic processingby a digital computer. Many programmable calculators now have sufficient memory to implementthese programs. Appendix C lists programs for carrying out the synthesis and evaluating thepattern functions with an HP-41C programmable calculator.

DESIGN EQUATIONS FOR LINEAR ARRAYS

WITH TAYLOR-TYPE PATTERNS

These equations will determine the aperture illumination coefficients for a linear array ofN elements to produce a Taylor-type pattern function with - sidelobes on each side of the mainbeam at a level of L dB.

This design procedure involves three steps. The first W - 1 zeros of the pattern are determined.Then the appropriate pattern function samples are determined. Finally, the array element illumina-tion coefficients are determined by a harmonic analysis of the pattern function samples.

A particular advantage of this synthesis is that the knowledge of all of the pattern functionzeros allows the computation of the pattern function as a product rather than as a polynomial. Theproduct computation involves only one trigonometric function evaluation for each pattern func-tion value. All other constants need to be evaluated only once for each array.

The pattern function zeros are given by

DESIGN EQUATIONS FOR LINEAR ARRAYS WITH

BAYLISS-TYPE DIFFERENCE PATTERNS

Appendix A gave the design equations for linear arrays with Taylor-type patterns, whichproduce a main beam with slightly larger beamwidth than that of the Dolph synthesis but in gen-eral with higher gain. In some applications; such as monopulse, we might require a difference pat-tern. Bayliss presented a synthesis procedure for difference patterns, analogous to that of Taylor.In this appendix we adapt the Bayliss procedure to discrete arrays.

As in the case of the Taylor synthesis, the application of discrete arrays involves three steps.The first iY - 1 off-axis zeros of the pattern are determined. Then the appropriate pattern functionsamples are determined. Finally the array element illumination coefficients are determined by aharmonic analysis of the pattern function samples.

PROGRAMS FOR TIlE IIP-41C CALCULATOR

This appendix presents programs for the HP-41C calculator for the design equations of Appen-dices A and B. The software consists of four programs, SUM, DIF, IN. and SL. "SUM" contains theequations for synthesizing Taylor-type sum patterns; "DIF" contains equations for Bayliss-typedifference patterns; "IN" contains subroutines that are used by both programs; and "SL" is aroutine for calculating the peaks of the sidelobes of the synthesized array. The number of registersused by the programs and the number of card sides required for storage are:

Program Registers Card Sides

SUM 30 2DIF 42 3IN 39 3SL 19 2

130 10 (5 cards) .

It is possible to synthesize aperture distributions using either SUM and IN or DIF and IN. Theseprograms require at least one additional memory module. Furthermore, the programs use nineregisters for variables, indices, and constants. Table C1 correlates the number of registers avail-able for synthesis parameters with the number of additional memory modules in use. The avail-able registers are used for the pattern samples an and b. and for the pattern function zeros(cosines) zp . The number of these registers is W + M. Therefore, the size of array that can besynthesized for any given configuration of Table C1 depends on -W. For a 50-dB sidelobe require-ment, IT will be about 8. Roughly speaking, an array of 55 to 65 elements for difference and 80 to90 for sum can be synthesized using one memory module by trading programs in and out of themachine, and an array of 90 to 100 elements can be synthesized with all programs loaded usingtwo modules. The maximum array size that can be handled using three modules is 310 to 320 fordifference and about 340 for sum. It appears that one or two memory modules should suffice formost requirements.

The procedure for running the programs is:

1. Allocate memory by XEQ SIZE (9 + M + n).

2. Load the appropriate program complement.

3. Enter either XEQ SUM or XEQ DIF.

4. The display will prompt for N, L, and NBAR. N can be even or odd. L is sidelobe level inpositive dB. DIF will also prompt for A, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4.

5. After calculating z n &and loading cos z n into registers starting with (9 + R), the display will askwhether you want a listing of peak sidelobes (SL) or aperture distribution (EP). After the sidelobesor excitation coefficients are listed, the display will ask whether you want the other set of parameterscalculated and listed.

The routine SL computes the sidelobe level relative to the main beam level by evaluating thepattern value at a point midway between pattern zeros. This computation is admittedly approximatebecause the pattern maximum is in general not exactly midway between zeros. The main beam pat-tern value is computed for z = 0. The difference pattern maximum is computed for z = z1 /3. Thisfactor was found to be accurate for 50 dB sidelobes. The exact multiplying factor will be somewhatlarger for higher sidelobes (L < 50), and it can be found quickly by obtaining z 1 and executing PA:

RCL (9 + R) gives cos z1ACOS gives z1k new multiplying factor, such as .4

COSSTO 02XEQ PA.

Alternatively, k can be found from Fig. 4 of BaylissCz, which defines the beam maximum by p,,where k = po/§I. (§ 1 corresponds to our z I )

Once the desired value of k has been found, go to lines 110, 111 in DIF, and exchange k,* for 3,/. It is now necessary to reload the reference main beam pattern value into R08. This calcu-

lation starts at line 61 of SUM and 105 of DIF. Alternatively, you can simply rerun the program.

The pattern value, in voltage and normalized to mainbeam level, is found by keying in thevalue of z in degrees, then keying COS, STO 02, XEQ PA. 4

07 accumulator for E(z), e08 main beam reference value09 to (8 + f) computed values of am, bm(9 + 1i) to (8 + 1i + M) computed values of cos z,,.

Program IN contains the following subroutines:

IN Asks for input data N, L, NBARZN Completes calculation and storage of cos z nBR Asks for choice of sidelobes or aperture distribution and branches

to EP or SLPR Prints element excitations epPA Computes pattern value for am, bm, or SL routinesEP Completes calculation of ep.

The programs use flags 00 and 01 to indicate the following conditions:

Flag 00 is set for N evenclear for N odd

Flag 01 is set for DIF executionclear for SUM execution.

The use of registers by program PA precludes the use of the plot subroutines resident in theprinter.

Note that the sidelobes and pattern values obtained with these programs are all relative to themain beam level. No information concerning gain or aperture illumination efficiency is computed.The aperture distribution can be used to compute aperture efficiency or gain.

The programs and sample printouts are listed on the following pages.
