Abstract
To decouple the range-angle-dependent beampattern, a new type of frequency diverse array (FDA) with frequency increment applied across the vertical array elements is proposed, referred to as the vertical frequency diverse array (VFDA). The adaptive algorithm for the design of the receive antenna is also presented to generate a single-maximum beampattern. Simulation results verify the effectiveness. It shows that the proposed approach outperforms the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar in focusing the transmit energy on the far-field targets.
