Design of a low sidelobe double difference beam for a circular aperture

A low-sidelobe double-difference beam is synthesized for a circular aperture in a manner similar to the synthesis of the circular Taylor sum beam and the circular Bayliss difference beam. The method proposed allows the designer to select a peak-to-sidelobe level ratio and an integer N which controls the shape of the close-in sidelobes. Such a beam finds use in main beam ECCM applications.<
