Compute the array pattern of a 1D array with uniform spacing d at frequency
f0, using cosine element patterns (in power, same for all elements) and
uniform weights :
d= 1/4 * lambda0
d =1/2 * lambda0
d =3/2 * lambda0
d = 1 *lambda0
Scan the beam from (0:15:90)deg along the array dimension.
The length of the array is 1 m.
Is there any theory or examples available?
Hi,
You are doing with matlab coding. So, under antenna array analysis, the first parameter is to find out the array factor depending upon number of array elements, broadside or endfire and linear or planar. Then normalized value of array factor will be multiplied with energy (power) of single element, which will give the total power of the antenna.
under the radiation pattern analysis, pattern of array will be multiplied with power pattern of array that will be the radiation pattern.

Hi,
Please go though the below links it may help you-

Thanks,
you can get the idea of such problems in the antenna and microwave engineering book authored by Constantine A Balanis
You can use PCAAD software to solve this problem.
In this software, you first go "wire" and analysis the unit dipole antenna. The go to the "array" and define your problem.
Be success
