Abstract
A new technique for re-computing shading parameters for low sidelobe levels for a radar or sonar system is disclosed. When some of the sensor elements become inoperative, remaining shading parameters are recomputed using a new constraint. This approach leads to an overall gain pattern that is superior compared to the one without re-computing the weights.
