title = "Analysis of antenna array patterns for multiple squad configurations",
abstract = "Lightweight antennas with accompanying transceivers can be mounted to the gear of a soldier to act as a radar system, both active and passive. In common squad configurations, nine (9) soldiers form a variety of positional shapes in their patrols, most commonly triangles, squares, and straight lines. The culmination of the receivers for the entire squad creates complex antenna arrays. In this paper, we investigate the antenna array patterns for these squad configurations. This radar system as a whole can act as an active system, with one node acting as the transmitter, or as a purely passive system, exploiting transmitters of opportunity depending on the RF infrastructure of the current environment. The array patterns can also be manipulated to meet other situational needs, including vehicular or ship mounted systems for a wide variety of purposes.",
