Abstract

This paper introduces a novel approach for achieving antenna array pattern nulling through the application of convex optimization techniques. Nulling, the suppression of unwanted interference sources or jamming signals, is a critical aspect of modern wireless communication and radar systems. Leveraging the power of convex optimization, we propose an approach that offers precise control over null placement while maintaining the main lobe and suppressing the sidelobe to enhance the resilience and reliability of such systems.
