array pattern multiplication

Antenna models — reading order Maxwell’s equations Retarded potentials Near-field / far-field boundary Far-field retarded potentials Array pattern multiplication (this article) Dipole power gain patterns Introduction Take one element’s radiation vector \(\mathbf{F}\), place \(N\) identical copies at positions \(\mathbf{l}_i\) with weights \(a_i\), and the far-field total factors as \(\mathbf{F}\,A\). That is pattern multiplication: the step … Read more
