  • Abstract
    A calculation of the directivity of a planar array involves a coefficient C_{mn} which is given in an integral form in the literature. A series representation for C_{mn} is derived here, which allows efficient numerical evaluation. Numerical results and comments on the behavior of C_{mn} are discussed.
