Abstract

Optimal design of uniformly-fed aperiodic millimeter-wave phased array topologies for site-specific and quasi interference-free operation is presented. Several use cases with different number of line-of-sight cells in the close vicinity of the base station, and for various widths and shapes of the cells, are analyzed. The arrays are synthesized by applying an iterative convex optimization technique. The simulation results of 256-element arrays indicate strong intra-cell and inter-cell isolation with around −40 dB maximal side lobe level. The proposed technique is found to be especially useful in the application scenarios supporting sparsely distributed narrow communication cells.
