Vladimir Alekseevich Varyukhin (December 14, 1921, vil. Zarvantsy, Vinnitsa district, Vinnitsa region, Ukraine — July 8, 2007, Kyiv, Ukraine) was a Soviet and Ukrainian scientist, Professor, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Honored Scientist of the UkrSSR, Major-General, founder of the theory of multichannel analysis, and creator of the scientific school on digital antenna arrays (DAAs). Scientific results In 1962, he founded the well-known scientific school on multichannel analysis and digital antenna arrays. The theory of multichannel analysis that was developed by him considers the methods of determination of the angular coordinates of sources as functions of the angular distances between the sources and the phase and energy relations between signals and gives the basis for the functional schemes of units realizing the theoretical conclusions. The determination of the parameters of sources is carried on by the direct solution of systems of high-order transcendental equations describing the response function of a multichannel analyzer. In this case, the super-Rayleigh resolution of the sources of signals is ensured. The difficulties arising at the solution of the transcendental systems of high-order equations were overcome by V. A. Varyukhin by means of the “separation” of the unknowns, at which the determination of angular coordinates is reduced to the solution of algebraic equations, and the complex amplitudes are found by the solution of the linear systems of equations of the N-th order. The Interdepartmental scientific-technical meeting organized in 1977 by the Scientific Council of the USSR Academy of Sciences on the problem “Statistical radiophysics” (Chairman — Academician Yuri Kobzarev) dated officially the start of the studies performed under the guidance of V. A. Varyukhin in the trend of digital antenna arrays by 1962 and recognized the priority of Varyukhin's scientific school in the development and practical realization of the theory of multichannel analysis. In the subsequent years, V. A. Varyukhin supervised a number of theoretical works realized in several experimental radar stations with DAAs which were successfully tested on testing sites.
