I have the phased array antenna that consists of three subarrays and each subarray has 4x4 elements as below for example.
Accoding to some examples by mathworks, it can be placed using 'phased.ReplicatedSubarray'.
And taper(chebwin or tylorwin) can be used on subarray having 4x4 elements.
However, I could not fine proper example on this website so that the 4x12 taper as below works on full array antenna.
taper = repmat((chebwin(12,30)'),[4 1]);
taperedArray.Taper = taper;
Let me know how to use a taper on 3x(4x4) of the full array.

If you want to apply taper on the entire aperture, it might be easier to use the phased.PartitionedArray interface. You can then divide the aperture into subarrays.

As the geometry as below, the antenna consists of three subarrays, A, B and C and each subarry has thier own direction (30degree different).
Let me know that it is available to put the subarrays like below using the phased.PartitionedArray interface.
Futhermore, there is no Taper in properties of both of phased.ReplicatedSubarray and phased.PartitionedArray unlike phased.ULA, URA and UCA.
If it is availiable, please give me proper examples.
many thanks.
