Technology Research about Beamforming of Multiple-Beam Array Antenna

Abstract:

Active phased array antenna (APAA) can realize multi-object tracking and the beamforming is the key technology. Multi-area array and the implement method of its beamforming are introduced in this paper. Coordinated transformation formula is offered based on engineering practice and beams are synthesized by beamforming algorithm of low sidelobe. Following simulation shows results about beam coverage, those provide theoretical basis for the further research.
