Current aperture design techniques do not allow for the design of apertures that produce a beam pattern optimally similar to the desired pattern. A flexible beamforming technique that enables the optimal design of apertures for a desired system response is presented. This technique involves a linear algebra formulation of the Sum Squared Error (SSE) between the point spread function (psf) of the system, and an ideal or desired psf. Minimization of this SSE yields the optimum aperture weightings. A brief overview of the application of the technique for some common design objectives, along with simulation results is also presented.
