Abstract :
The optimum directivity of various types of uniformly spaced broadside arrays of dipoles is investigated theoretically in this paper. The formulation is processed with the aid of an array matrix. The expression for the optimum directivity and the corresponding excitation are expressed directly in terms of the elements of the array matrix. The computed values are assembled in several sets of curves, and the results are compared with the directivity of uniformly excited arrays.
