The document outlines the design process for broadside antenna arrays, specifically a four-element array with λ/2 spacing and a side lobe level of 19.1 dB, followed by a seven-element array with a side lobe level of -20 dB. It details the steps involved in calculating the array factor using Tschebyshev polynomials and normalizing coefficients. The content is part of an Antenna and Microwave Engineering course presented by Dr. Dilip Kumar Choudhary.

Fall Semester : 2024-25 Antenna and Microwave Engineering Slide No: 51

Q. Design a four element broadside array of λ/2 spacing between


elements. The pattern is to be optimized with a side lobe level 19.1 dB
down the main lobe maximum.
Solution.
Step1: The number of elements is 4 (even), therefore the array factor is

Given, 2M = 4, M = 2

Step2:

Q. Design a seven element broadside array which has the optimum


pattern for a side lobe level of -20 dB. The spacing between elements has
to be λ/2.
Solution.
Step1: The number of elements is 7 (odd), therefore the array factor is
