  • Abstract
    A computer program has been investigated and developed for the calculation of the far field radiation pattern of an antenna array. This paper contains an IBM 360/65 program for the calculation of the far field pattern with accuracy checks on the pattern obtained by using radio stations KXIC and WSUI, both located in Iowa City, Iowa, as assumed normals. Two theories of solving the far field calculation problem with the SDS-92/TR-48 hybrid computer are submitted.
