Abstract :
Starting with a common formula for directivity, given beamwidths, the author gives the modifications needed to improve the accuracy when the distribution is known. Also included is a nomograph that shows the parameters of the Taylor single-parameter distribution, and allows trade studies versus the sidelobe level
