Abstract
The observed sidelobe level of a linear array antenna is predicted approximately by assuming a computationally simple, uniform distribution of phase error, and the effect of this phase error is shown to mask the effect of an occasional isolated element failure. The assumed level of phase error was deduced from phase measurements in the feed network.
