This monograph presents innovative methods for constructing two-dimensional non-equidistant antenna arrays (AAs), particularly designed for radio telescopes operating in the 8–80 MHz range. The work introduces direct and straightforward techniques, emphasizing configurations based on Latin squares and their triangular matrices. These methods ensure full spatial frequency coverage with high rarefaction and minimal lateral radiation. Key contributions include the first use of a Latin square matrix in AA construction, the pioneering combination of circular difference sets and Latin square matrices for planar sparse arrays, and the integration of Latin square and lower triangular matrices in planar sparse array design. The proposed matrix method is more efficient and direct compared to traditional iterative and deletion-based optimization approaches.

This book is intended for scientists and specialists involved in developing remote sensing methods and technologies using radiation from existing ground and space radio engineering systems. It is also valuable for students and educators in radiophysics, offering a comprehensive approach to AA design that could advance both academic study and practical applications in radio astronomy.
