A Diagnosing Method for Phased Antenna Array Element Excitation Amplitude and Phase Failures Using Random Binary Matrices
A diagnosing method for phased antenna array element failures is proposed.The element excitation amplitudes and phases are reconstructed by a compressed sensing based approach, in which the radiated electric fields of the array are sampled by a single fixed receiving antenna.The diagnosing can be processed when the phased array is still in service.
