ABSTRACT:
A method is described modifying initially linear or planar interferometer arrays such that the arrays can be placed in conformal installations. The method commences with a conventional linear or planar array design and then using certain techniques and relationships allows for the possibility of antenna placement with materially reduced restrictions. A plurality of phase equivalent antenna locations obeying prescribed relationships are generated. These positions lie on the conformal surface on which the array is to be mounted. This permits an optimal set of antenna positions to be chosen based on operational requirements.
