Theory and Design of Uniform Concentric Spherical Arrays with Frequency Invariant Characteristics

This paper proposes a new digital beamformer for uniform concentric spherical array (UCSA) having nearly frequency invariant (FI) characteristics. The basic principle is to transform the received signals to the phase mode and remove the frequency dependency of the individual phase mode through the use of a digital beamforming network. It is shown that the far field pattern of the array is determined by a set of weights and it is approximately invariant over a wide range of frequencies. FI UCSAs are electronic steerable in both the azimuth angle and elevation angle, unlike their concentric circular array counterpart. A design example is given to demonstrate the design and performance of the proposed FI UCSA
