Abstract
A method for synthesizing an array factor for an array antenna based on a target shape of an array factor amplitude, includes: calculating an array factor phase based on the target shape of the array factor amplitude, and calculating array antenna weight coefficients using the least mean square method, where a target function used in the least mean square method is a complex function composed by the target shape of the array factor amplitude and the calculated array factor phase, wherein the calculated weight coefficients determine the array factor.
