Abstract
An outline is given of the basic theory of arrays of linear configuration. This leads to a discussion of methods for achieving constant beam width over the working frequency range. Techniques used in the design of arrays employing acoustic and electrical frequency tapering are presented and their characteristics compared. Examples of recent applications of electrically tapered arrays are given, with particular reference to those developed for the Sydney Opera House.
