摘要：

Analysis and systematic design of uniform phased arrays with subarrays of unequal sizes are absent from the literature, in spite of the appeal of such architectures to wide-bandwidth beam steering. Unequally sized subarrays are expected to outperform identical, contiguous subarrays in terms of array grating lobes. A uniform linear array that is divided into contiguous subarrays of random sizes is studied here. Each array element is connected to a phase shifter, and each subarray is implemented with a common time delayer. Closed-form expressions for the average array factor and the variance of the array factor are developed. These expressions enable the formulation of a design procedure that includes the estimation of the peak-grating-lobe level in terms of the probability that the grating lobes will exceed a desired level.
