Thinned concentric ring arrays

A ring array is a planar array with elements lying on a circle. If several of these arrays with different radii share a common center, then the resulting planar array is known as a concentric ring array. This paper demonstrates the optimized thinning of concentric ring arrays using point sources and dipoles.
