Array Synthesis

“Array antennas can produce desired shape of electric field of EM wave like electronic circuits produce any shape of signal wave form.”

CHAPTER OBJECTIVES

This chapter discusses

  • The design of arrays using the best techniques
  • Design of array using standard amplitude distributions
  • Objective questions and solved problems useful for class tests, final examinations and also for competitive examinations
  • Exercise problems to develop self problem solving skills
5.1 INTRODUCTION

Antenna analysis determines the radiation pattern for a given input distribution. Antenna synthesis is the inverse process. In antenna array synthesis, input or source distribution is determined for a specified radiation pattern.
