Find the angle at which nulls occur for the two element array antenna with separation λ/4 and phase difference is -π/2?(a) 0(b) π/2(c) π/4(d) πThis question was addressed to me during an interview.The origin of the question is Factors topic in chapter Antenna Array of Antennas

Answer»

The correct choice is (d) π

The best I can explain: The NORMALIZED array FACTOR is given by \(AF_n=\frac{AF}{2}=COS(\frac{kdcosθ+β}{2})\)

⇨ AFn=0

⇨ \(cos⁡(\frac{kdcosθ+β}{2})=0\)

⇨ \(\frac{(\frac{2π}{λ})(\frac{λ}{4})cosθ-\frac{π}{2}}{2}=±\frac{π}{2}\)

⇨ Cosθ=-1

⇨ θ=180 or π

So Nulls occur at 180°.
