Which of the following is the necessary condition to avoid grating lobes in N-Isotropic element array?(a) \(\frac{d}{λ}≤\frac{1}{1+|cosθ_m |} \)(b) \(\frac{d}{λ}≥\frac{1}{1+|cosθ_m |} \)(c) \(\frac{λ}{d}≤\frac{1}{1+|cosθ_m |} \)(d) \(\frac{λ}{d}=\frac{1}{1+|cosθ_m |} \)This question was addressed to me in exam.The doubt is from Array of N-Isotropic Sources topic in portion Antenna Array of Antennas

Answer»

Right choice is (a) \(\FRAC{d}{λ}≤\frac{1}{1+|cosθ_m |} \)

The explanation: Grating lobes are the MINOR and unnecessary lobes other than the major lobe.

To avoid grating lobes, KD(cosθ-cosθm) ≤ 2π

θm – Direction of MAXIMUM radiation

⇨ \(\frac{2πd}{λ}(cosθ-cosθ_m)≤2π\)

\(\frac{d}{λ}≤\frac{1}{cosθ-cosθ_m} \)

\(\frac{d}{λ}≤\frac{1}{1+|cosθ_m |} \)
