In this paper, a simplified sidelobe reduction technique for uniform concentric circular antenna arrays (UCCA) is proposed. This technique is based on modifying some conventional windows to control the amplitude feeding instead of using adaptive techniques which require excessive processing and calculations and suffer from the lack of practical application especially for UCCA. The modified windows are applied to individual rings of the array that will taper the corresponding current amplitudes. The resulted sidelobe level, beamwidth and stability for amplitude errors are discussed for the different proposed windows where it shows a sidelobe reduction to about 49 dB as in the case of Binomial UCCA while the Hamming window shows the most immunity to tapered amplitude errors. |
