The direction of the first minor lobe of 8 element isotropic broadside array separated by λ/2 is ___(a) 41.4°(b) 76.6°(c) 67.7°(d) 90°I have been asked this question in my homework.This key question is from Radiation Pattern of 8-Isotropic Elements topic in chapter Antenna Array of Antennas |

Answer» RIGHT choice is (b) 76.6° The explanation: The direction of the secondary maxima (MINOR lobes) occur at θs \(θ_s=cos^{-1} (\FRAC{λ}{2πd} \left[-β±\frac{(2s+1)}{N} π\right])\) ⇨ \(θ_s=cos^{-1} (\frac{λ}{2π(λ/2)} [±\frac{3}{8}π]) \)(s=1 for 1^st minor LOBE) ⇨ \(θ_s=cos^{-1} (±\frac{3}{8})=67.7°\) |
