Efficient Embedded Element Pattern Prediction via Machine Learning: A Case Study with Planar Non-Uniform Sub-Arrays

Efficient prediction of embedded element patterns (EEPs) is including the mutual coupling (MC) effects in the optimization of irregular planar arrays is studied for the first time in the literature. An ANN-based methodology is used to predict the pattern of each element in the whole visible space for a flexible planar array topology in...

Multiple Beam Synthesis of Passively Cooled 5G Planar Arrays Using Convex Optimization

An extended-feature, system-driven convex algorithm for the synthesis of uniform-amplitude, irregular planar phased arrays with simultaneous multi-beam optimization for mm-wave 5G base station applications in multi-user scenarios is presented. The inter-user interferences are suppressed by minimizing the maximum sidelobe level (SLL) for a...
