Antennas

Abstract

In this course we want to develop equations and techniques for finding antenna radiation and gain patterns. That is, we want to develop equations for   , G   where  and  are orthogonal angles such as azimuth (AZ) and elevation (EL) or angles relative to a normal to the antenna face (as would be used in phased array antennas). We want to be able to produce plots similar to the one shown in Figure 1-1. We want to use the ability to generate antenna patterns to look at beam width, gain, sidelobes and how these relate to antenna dimensions and other factors.
