Two of the most important criteria for a sensor array beam-pattern are beamwidth and side-lobe level. A narrower beamwidth means a better angular resolution and well separation of close sources. The beamwidth of a sensor array is directly proportional to array aperture, the beamwidth gets narrower as array aperture increases. However, increase in array aperture means increase in number of used sensors due to Nyquist spatial rate and this means increase in cost and computational load. Therefore, sparse arrays which violate Nyquist spatial rate are used. To cancel grating lobes occurred due to violation of Nyquist rate a weight optimization is implemented. In this paper, an approach which does not need weight optimization for grating lobe cancellation is presented. This method is inspired from nonlinear apodization (windowing) method. The necessary information to cancel grating lobes is obtained from a sub-array contained in the sparse array and this sub-array obeys Nyquist spatial rate.

Sparse linear sensor arrays: analysis of recent coarray based arrays and array design for nonlinear processing
Epçaçan, Erdal; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-09)
In this thesis, sparse linear sensor arrays have been studied. The study of sparse arrays in this work can be considered under two main headings: Analysis and comparison of recently proposed coarray based arrays, and the adaptation of the nonlinear apodization method for linear arrays and its use in sparse linear array design. Recently proposed coarray-based sparse arrays are designed with closed form structures without the need for any optimization and have much higher degrees of freedom (DOF) than a unif...
SPARSE SUPPORT RECOVERY FOR DOA ESTIMATION IN THE PRESENCE OF MUTUAL COUPLING
Elbir, Ahmet M.; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2015-09-04)
Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in the presence of mutual coupling and coherent signals is a hard task for arbitrary sensor arrays including uniform circular array (UCA). While the coherent sources can be resolved using spatial smoothing algorithms for uniform linear and rectangular arrays, it cannot be applied to UCA. In this paper, a new technique is proposed for DOA estimation in UCA using a single snapshot. Joint-sparse recovery algorithm is proposed where the source signal spatial directions and ...
Design of pattern reconfigurable antennas by using characteristic mode theory
Aydın, Tolunay; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-10-22)
Pattern reconfigurable antennas improve the performance of the system in applications which have dynamic radiation pattern requirements like multi- input multi-output arrays, phased arrays and body area networks. Characteristic mode theory was shown to be useful when investigating the possible orthogonal radiation patterns on an antenna element. Due to improvements in computation capacity of the modern computers, characteristic mode analysis can be used efficiently during the design of pattern reconfigurabl...
Learning Smooth Pattern Transformation Manifolds
Vural, Elif (2013-04-01)
Manifold models provide low-dimensional representations that are useful for processing and analyzing data in a transformation-invariant way. In this paper, we study the problem of learning smooth pattern transformation manifolds from image sets that represent observations of geometrically transformed signals. To construct a manifold, we build a representative pattern whose transformations accurately fit various input images. We examine two objectives of the manifold-building problem, namely, approximation a...
Design and Optimization of Nano-Optical Isolators Based on Irregular Arrangements of Dielectric Rods
Yazar, Şirin; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2022-01-01)
Design and optimization of efficient and compact nano-optical isolators based on irregular arrays of dielectric rods are presented. These designs allow electromagnetic waves to propagate in single direction and prevent them from propagating in the opposite direction. This way, high forward transmission is achieved, while the main source is protected from reflected waves. Effective optimization algorithms are integrated with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA), a fast and accurate full-wave numer...
