Abstract A novel non-iterative method, named unitary matrix pencil method, is presented in this paper for the pattern synthesis of sparse linear arrays. Through unitary transformation of the centro-Hermit matrix constructed using sample data of the desired pattern, an equivalent real-valued matrix pencil can be achieved so as to determine the relation between non-uniform element positions and new generalized eigenvalues. Then, the lower order left singular vector matrix can be obtained by discarding the non-principal singular values generated by Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of the real-valued matrix. The element positions and excitations are thereby estimated efficiently. Compared with other algorithms, this method can be utilized to directly obtain the real-valued solution of sparse array locations. Furthermore, Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Eigen Value Decomposition (EVD) are computed in the real-valued field with a lower computational cost. Simulation results validate the high-efficiency of the proposed synthesis method for the design of arbitrary linear array pattern with a fewer number of antenna elements.
