Abstract :
The three-term theory is applied to study the circuit and field properties of linear and crossed-dipole arrays of the backfire type. The arrays are composed of both driven and parasitic elements. It is found that with proper spacings and lengths of the elements, both broadside and endfire patterns can be obtained by changes in the relative phases of only a fraction of the total number of elements.
