Radar array design aims at shaping a specific transmit/receive beampattern through optimizing array geometry, transmit waveform, and transmit/receive weight vectors. It is a hot topic among the scientific and industrial communities due to the advent of modern digital arrays with multiple digital transmit and receive channels, arbitrary digital waveform generators, and solid-state transmitters. The radar array beampattern is a critical performance metric, and there has been a proliferation of techniques for radar array design exploiting the mathematical results drawn from optimisation theory.
