Co-array properties of minimum redundancy linear arrays with minimum sidelobe level

Minimum redundancy linear arrays (MRLA) are widely used in radio astronomy, microwave radiometry, radar and other fields. Based on the Fourier properties of arrays with optimal co-array properties, the co-array properties of MRLAs with minimum sidelobe level are presented for the first time, validated by simulations of different MRLAs with 5~9 elements. The upper bound of the peak sidelobe level (PSL) of a MRLA is also derived.
