Abstract
The effects of random manufacturing errors on polar diagrams of antennas are analyzed in terms of the radius of correlation and mean square magnitude of the errors. The basis of the method is the Wiener-Khintchine theorem. Approximate general formulas are given for the reduction in gain and lowest probable sidelobe level. The implications of the theory are discussed.
