Abstract

A combinatorial method for the design of spatially interlaced sparse array antennas is advocated. The cyclic difference sets are used infinding optimum positions of the elements in the sparse sub-arrays that share a common number of sub-array that can be interwoven on a common aperture. Radiation properties of these sparse configuration are investigated by numerical estimations of the antenna array factor at different frequencies.
