N2 - The conventional beamforming used for either terrestrial or non-terrestrial communication is usually based on the phase control of antenna elements in arrays, which typically results in a beam with a natural rolling pattern. The amplitude control is often used to achieve low side lobe levels (SLLs), regarded as sacrificing power or aperture efficiency. In recent research, it has been found that the flat-topped beam can be analytically synthesized through controlling both the phase and amplitude of array elements. In this conference paper, a numerical analysis is carried out to show that the flat-topped beamforming possesses the advantages of full-angle coverage with a small number of beams and small ripples during beam scanning. Hence, this type of beamforming can afford energy/power-efficient coverage for both terrestrial of non-terrestrial networks.
