Synthesis of Conformal Phased Array Antenna with Improved SLL

This article presents a methodology to synthesize a conformal cylindrical arc antenna array that can be controlled by both amplitude and phase Excitations. The proposed antenna array synthesizes directive lobe and multi-lobe patterns with beam steering capability. The phase excitation and amplitude coefficients are generated by using Taguchi's and Dolph-Chebyshev excitation methods, respectively. An 8- element cylindrical antenna array is designed using CST MW Studio and simulated various beam shapes.
