Improved Bounds on Maximum Size Binary Radar Arrays

Jon Hamkins and Kenneth Zeger

Abstract

The maximum size of binary radar arrays (matrices) with only 8 or fewer rows has previously been determined. We determine the maximum size of radar arrays containing 9-13 rows, and for those containing 16 and 17 rows we narrow the maximum size down to two values. We also give improved upper and lower asymptotic bounds on the maximum size of radar arrays, which narrow the gap between the existing upper and lower asymptotic bounds by more than 25\%.
