Dolph

This document describes the Dolph-Chebyshev array weighting algorithm. It provides a function dolph(d, ph0, N, R) that calculates the array weights (a) and 3-dB beamwidth (dph) for a Dolph-Chebyshev array with element spacing d, beam angle ph0, number of elements N, and sidelobe level R dB. The algorithm uses Chebyshev polynomials to design the array weights to achieve the specified sidelobe level while steering the main beam to angle ph0.

a = row vector of array weights (steered towards ph0) dph = 3-dB beamwidth in degrees note: array factor is Chebyshev A(psi) = T_{N-1}(x), x = x0 * cos(psi/2), see also UNIFORM, BINOMIAL, TAYLOR, SECTOR, DOLPH2, DOLPH3
