INTRODUCTIONA patch antenna (also known as a rectangular microstrip antenna) is a type of
radio antenna with a low profile, which can be mounted on a flat surface. It consists of
a flat rectangular sheet or "patch" of metal, mounted over a larger sheet of metal calleda ground plane.
In this orientation, the thesis is divided into three chapters as follows:

1.1 MICROSTRIP ANTENNA
The concept of band radiation was first initiated by Deschamps in 1953. But it
was not until 20 years later, an antenna engineering applications of the new range is
made. Micro-strip antenna experiments were first developed by Howell and Munson
and continue research and development in many different areas.

Coaxial-line feeds, where the inner conductor of the coax is attached to the
radiation patch while the outer conductor is connected to the ground plane, are also
widely used. The coaxial probe feed is also easy to fabricate and match, and it has low
spurious radiation. However, it also has narrow bandwidth and it is more difficult tomodel, especially for thick substrates (h > 0.02 0).
All micro-strip antenna is divided into four basic categories: micro-strip patch
antenna, micro strip dipole, slot antennas used in engineering, antenna band traveling-
wave behavior.
Micro str ip patch antenna
A micro-strip patch antenna includes a conductive patch as flat or planar
geometry on one side of the piece of dielectric substrate and ground plane on the other
surface of the substrate. Patch antenna with strips of different types, but their radiation
characteristics virtually identical because they act like a dipole. Among the micro-strip
patch antennas, antenna square and circle are two types of commonly used and widely
used.
Dipole microstrip
Dipole micro strip antenna shaped like a square patch of bands but different
ratio L / W. The width of the dipole typically less than 0:05 wavelengths in free space.
Dipole radiation pattern of the antenna patch and strips of the same great features but in
others, such as radiation resistance, bandwidth and cross-polarized radiation, they
hardly differ. Dipole antennas, the range of suitable for high frequency applications
because they use pieces of dielectric substrate thickness is relatively thick so that they
achieve significant bandwidth. The choice of source model is very important and must
be taken into account when analyzing micro-strip dipole antenna.

Printed Slot Antenna structure includes a slot in the ground plane of a grounded
substrate (substrate ground). This slot can have many different shapes such as
rectangles, circles, candles, .. This type of antenna radiation in both directions means
that our radiation on both sides of the slot, we can create unidirectional radiation usinga reflective surface on one side of the slot.
Traveling -Wave M icrostri p Antennas (M TA)
MTA is constituted by a series of chain conductors together or a strip of the line
is long enough and wide enough to support the TE mode transmission. In particular,the antenna is grounded and the other end is the impedance to avoid standing waves on
the antenna. MTA antenna can be designed to direct the beam in any way from
broadside to endfire.
1.1.2 Characteristics of Microstrip Antennas (MSAs)
Micro strip antennas (MSAs) have many advantages compared to traditional
antennas. Therefore, micro-strip antenna used in many applications in the range of bands from 100MHz to 100GHz. MSA has proven to be an effective emission devices
for many applications with many advantages, however, it is still a number of
weaknesses that need to be overcome.
Advantages:
There is the small size and weight, thin thickness.
Low production costs, easy mass production.
Ability to linearly polarized with the simple power engineering.

The supply lines and the impedance components can be producedsimultaneously with the fabricated antenna.
Easy integration with other MIC on the same substrate.
Flexibility between circularly polarized and linearly polarized.
Compatible for personal mobile devices.
Disadvantages:
MSA have narrow bandwidth and tolerance issues.
Some MSA with low gain.
Ability to low-power storage.
Almost all radiation MSA in half the space above the ground plane.
There is excess radiation from transmission lines andconnections.
MSA has a very narrow bandwidth, typically only about 1-5%, this is the
biggest drawback in the application of MSA to cover a broad spectrum.
With the advantages that MSAs that become suitable for many applications.
Some applications of MSAs:
The antenna used in radio communications to a compact MSA is used.
The radar reflector used MSA emission ranges.
Aviation information systems and satellite MSA arrays used to locate
Smart Weapons used by the MSA their compact size.
GSM and GPS can also use the MSA.

1.1.3 The digital power supply for micro strip antennas (feed method)
Due antenna with a range of radiation on a surface of the dielectric substrate so
the technique to power micro-strip antenna baseline by using a micro-strip transmission
line or a coaxial probe through the ground plane connection to the metal patch microstrip antennas. Along with the development of science and technology, a new power
supply specifications for the micro strip antennas have been studied and developed.
Currently, the common method used to supply power for micro-strip antenna is: use the
power of strip transmission lines, coaxial probe, join slot (aperture-coupling), liver
transplantation (proximiti-coupling).
The choice of power supply is dependent on many different factors. However,
the most important factor is the efficiency of energy transfer between the radiation and
the power that is to be coordinated resistance between two parts together. In addition,
the impedance transformation step, the bend .. also give rise to leakage radiation and
surface wave attenuation. The unexpected radiation raises the secondary radiation of
the antenna radiation pattern of bands. minimizing radiation leakage and the effects of
radiation on the plot it is one of the key factors evaluating the supply is good or not?
1.1.3.1 Power transmission range by transmission line
The stimulus for micro-strip antenna micro strip transmission lines on the same
substrate is a natural choice because the patch can be considered as a transmission
range of both open and can be designed on the same circuit. However, this technique
has several limitations. It is the unwanted emission from the feed line to feed the line
size is negligible compared with patch (for example in the case of L is small enough
for a few mm).

1.1.3.2 Power by coaxial probe
Power over probe is one of the most basic methods for high-frequency
transmission capacity. With this feed, the feed section of the core is connected to the patch, ground plane connected to the outside. The advantage of doing this is simple in
design process, with the ability to feed at every position on the patch panel so easy to
coordinate resistance. However, the downside is this:
First, because the feed using the feed should be made to the outside antenna is
not perfectly flat and loses its symmetry. Second, the need for a powered coaxial range
would require increasing the number of connections and thus would be difficult to
manufacture and reduced reliability. Third, the need to increase bandwidth of the
antenna is required to increase the thickness and length of the probe. As a result,
radiation leaks and the inductance of the probe increases.

Power method often used to eliminate the unnecessary radiation of the
microstrip line. The structure consists of two dielectric layers. Patch antenna is placed
on top, in the middle ground with small slot 1 slot, transmission line feed at the bottom
dielectric layer. Typically, the dielectric pads above low dielectric constant, the
dielectric layer under high dielectric constants have aimed to optimize the antenna's
radiation. However, this method difficult to implement power to do so many layers,
and the thickness of the antenna increases. This method is supplied for Narrowband
(narrow bandwidth).
1.1.3.4 Power grafting using near - Proximity Coupled
This structure consists of two dielectric layers, piece patch antenna located on a
piece of dielectric, the feed line in between two dielectric layers. This method has the
advantage of removing the maximum height that the radiation of power lines (line
feed) and broadband (approximately 13%).

This method is also called electromagnetic coupling method. This method is
essentially capacitive coupling between the patch and the power supply. Parameters of
the two layers can be selected to improve bandwidth and reduce radiation leaks in the
open end of the transmission line. Also for this reason, the thickness of the second
dielectric layer is thinner. Radiation in this case will be greater. However this method
more complex manufacturing and production.
1.1.4 Bandwidth of MSA
As we know, the biggest drawback of the MSA is the width of the bandwidth.
Bandwidth (BW) can be determined through a standing wave ratio (VSWR),
impedance changes in the frequency or radiation parameters. for circularly polarized
antenna, BW are axial ratio (AR).
BW is determined by the frequency at which the impedance is the ability of the
antenna within a given limit. BW of the MSA inversely proportional to the quality
factor Q:
1VSWR BW

The VSWR is determined by the reflection coefficient :

From the above formula we can see if we can increase W, the increasing BW,
but W is limited by because if W> can not single-mode transmission.
1.1.5 Principle of the radiated micro strip antennas
We know that the radiation of micro strip lines, a structure similar to the micro-
strip antenna, can be significantly reduced if the dielectric substrate is used and the
thickness of thin dielectric coefficient is relatively low. In other words, it helps to
radiation micro strip antennas better with higher radiation efficiency. Thus, in a range
of antennas, we use the dielectric coefficient of low permeability. Radiation from
micro-strip antenna can be determined from the distribution between the patch and the
ground plane or in the form of electric current distribution on the surface of the patch.
At a micro-strip antenna is powered by a high frequency source (microwave
source). The power supply for the patch to form the charge distribution at the top and
bottom of the patch, as well as on the surface of the ground plane. Under the effect of
the thrust force formed by the interaction of the electrons with the same sign, on the
surface of the patch makes a number of charges in the periphery of the surface patch
moving from bottom to top surface patch. The movement of electrical charge to form
on the surface of the patch under the current density vector and vector current density
on the surface.

As in most of the antenna is very small ratio because the electrical attraction
between the dominant and the most concentrated and line charge still exists beneath the
surface patch. And so, only a small amount of movement from the edge of the patch
piece on top of the patch to form a small way to the edge of the tangent patch.Therefore, to simplify the calculation, we approximate that the tangential magnetic
field is zero and the tangential magnetic field can be established from the walls around
the perimeter of the patch. The assumptions are more reasonable than in the case of
dielectric substrate thickness thin with large dielectric constants. Similar to the case of
the electromagnetic field, because the thickness of the dielectric substrate is very thin
compared to the wavelength in the dielectric layer transmission, so the high variability
along the electric field is constant and almost perpendicular to the surface the patch.From the condition of the electric and magnetic fields, the patch can be seen as the
model of a resonant cavity (cavity) with the electromagnetic field radiation above and
below (due to the electric field perpendicular to the surface of patch) and four along the
wall from the edge of the patch (due to tangential magnetic field is almost zero). From
the resonance condition of the cavity just mentioned, only the TM mode can be
transmitted in the resonant cavity.
Four side walls of the cavity corresponding to the four slot radiation. Patch of
micro strip antennas can be represented by a vector corresponding current density.
Meanwhile, the four slots in the side radiation is characterized by the vector density
and lines respectively with the electric and magnetic fields in the radiation slot.

Since we consider dielectric substrate t J thickness on the current density should
be very small compared with the current density b J of the patch below. Therefore, will

be set to zero to indicate that virtually no radiation from the surface of the patch.
Similarly, the tangential magnetic field along the edges of the patch and the
corresponding current density s M is set to zero. Therefore, only one other current
density component vector density s M is not along the lines of patch perimeter. In order
to demonstrate the presence of the ground plane image we use the theory that the
current density will double compared to when not at the ground plane. The density of
the new line will be:
2 a s M n E (1-10)
The electromagnetic field in the slot radiation determined:
0.a E z E for two slots of length W and height h
0. sina x

on slot length L and height h
Due to the conditions considered above, we realize as a result of the radiation of
the slot along the x-axis is almost zero because the current distribution and reversed by
the slots together. However, the results of radiation along the y axis exists in the formof a strip of two components with the same current density component amplitude and
phase and separated by a distance L - length of the patch. Thus, radiation from the
patch can be described as two longitudinal slots (vertical slots).
The analysis of longitudinal slots in dielectric medium heterogeneity is a very
difficult problem to the gaps along the slit is replaced by two flat (planar slots). For the
micro-strip antenna configurations can also be represented by the corresponding slots
of the same type.

1.1.6 Radiation field of micro strip antenna
If radiation from antennas that great line from surfaces like walls along the
perimeter of the patch. In another method, but a bit more radiation field is determined
from the power line on the surface of the conductive patch antenna piece of strip. Bothmethods are considered equivalent. The micro-strip antenna radiation is sometimes
seen as the radiation range of open circuit transmission line. The graph of a radiation
transmission openings of similar range of radiation pattern of a Hertz dipole. This
method is also used to calculate the effects of radiation on the quality factor Q of the
resonance box of strips. Theoretical and experimental results shows that the high
frequency attenuation due to radiation higher than the attenuation due to dielectric and
conductance. In addition, it also shows that the range of open circuit transmission lineradiation is more powerful when made with thick dielectric layer with low dielectric
constant.
Vectors that are used to determine the radiation field due to the currents.
1.1.6.1 The vector and a formula for calculating the radiation

1.2 ANALYSIS MODELS MICROSTRIP ANTENNA
There are many different methods to analyze the micro-strip antenna. Each
method offers an approximate model to analyze antenna. The model is the most
popular model of the transmission line (microstrip line), model cavity (cavity model).
The models provide a meaningful analysis of great practical reality for the
reason:
Help us to reduce a large number of test cycles and removed by an impacthe design process.
Help us evaluate correctly the strengths and weaknesses of antennas bystudying its parameters.

Provide operational principles of micro strip antennas from it as the basisthe research and development of future designs.
Transmission line model considered a micro strip antenna rectangular patch as a
piece of micro-strip transmission lines. This is the simplest model, it gives us a deeper
understanding of physics, but less accurate and difficult to apply to the transplant
model, and can not be applied to the antenna complex shapes.
Unlike the transmission line model, cavity model is more accurate but also more
complex. However, the advantage of this model can be applied on different types of
patch. Like a transmission line model, cavity model also gives an in-depth
understanding of physics and quite complex when applied to the antenna couplingmodel and it is also used quite successfully. Here, we consider the transmission line
model and the cavity model. However, it is also used in some of the results of the
design calculations and full-wave models. In particular, we consider only the micro
strip antennas as popular and most practical rectangular patch.
1.2.1 Model line (Transmission Line)
The model is the easiest way to transfer all kinds of little but for the mostaccurate results because it lacks flexibility. However, it gives a relatively clear
understanding of physical properties. A rectangular microstrip antenna can be
described as an array of radiation two narrow slits, each slit width is W, the height h
and separated by a distance L. The model describes the basic transmission range of two
slot antennas separated by a low impedance transmission line and length L. Z c

antenna L / h >> 1, border effect is reduced, but it must be taken into account because
it significantly affects the resonant frequency of the antenna.
As we know, most of the electric field lines in the dielectric layer and a portion
of a line exists in the air. When L / h >> 1, r >> 1, the electric field lines most
concentrated in the dielectric. Fringing effects in this case makes the transmission of
wide range of power seem more real size no.Khi a few waves into the dielectric layer,
and some others went into the air. Effective dielectric constant reff is used to correct
the effects of fringing effects of waves on the transmission line.
To make the effective dielectric constant, we assume the lead center line of the
strip on the size and height of the original land surface it is put into a homogeneous
dielectric layer as shown in Figure 1.9. For a transmission line with the air in the
background, the effective dielectric constant value in the range 1 < reff < r . In most
applications where a dielectric constant greater than 1 ( r >> 1), the value of the
effective dielectric constant will be close to the value of the dielectric constant is more
realistic. Effective dielectric constant is also a function of frequency. As the operating
frequency increases, most of the electric field lines should be concentrated in the
dielectric. So the line will be nearly identical to the range of transmission line located
in homogeneous dielectric with dielectric constant to the effective value of the
dielectric constant over.
At low frequencies, the effective dielectric constant is fundamental. At
intermediate frequencies the value of it and have started to increase towards the end of
dielectric constant values platform. The initial value (at low frequency) of the effective
dielectric constant can be represented as a static value.

In the ideal case, the two slits spaced about 1/2 with a wavelength in the dielectric.
However, due to fringing effects of the patch electrical length longer than its actual

using the formula (1-39), the admittance of slot 2 is:

1), the resistance does not depend on h. From (1-47) and (1-48), we see resistance at
the resonance can be reduced by increasing the width W of the patch, this is acceptable
as long as the ratio W / L does not exceed 2 because the resonance effect of a single
patch will be interrupted when the ratio W / L exceeds 2.
Resistance resonance is given by formula (1.48), is described by the slot 1.
Resistance in resonance can be altered by grafting supply lines into some y0 from slot

1.2.2 Model cavity
Micro-strip antenna similar to the homogeneous dielectric cavity and give us
higher-order resonances. The standardized field in the dielectric (between the patch and
the ground plane) can be found by looking at the exact space between the patch and theground plane as a resonant cavity is limited by the inductor material (in above and
below it), and from the walls (to see an open circuit) along the perimeter of the patch.
This is an approximate model which in principle leads to an input impedance response
(resonance value zero or infinity), and it does not emit any power to do. However,
assuming that the real case is similar to cases generated by this model, radiation
pattern, resulting in the load, and the resonances are relatively accurate in comparison
with experiment.
To better understand the resonant cavity model, we give a physical
interpretation of the formation in the cavity and the radiation through its walls. When
the energy patch received a distribution charge will be set at the top and bottom of the
patch, as well as on the surface of the ground plane. The charge distribution is
controlled by two mechanisms: one push mechanism and a suction mechanism.
Mechanism of electrical attraction between the different marks on the underside of the
patch and the ground plane tends to maintain focus on the underside of the charge
patch. The mechanism of the charge repulsion between the marks on the bottom
surface of the patch tends to push a couple of electric rings from the bottom of the
patch around the edges of the patch to the upper surface of the patch. The movement of
electrical charges creates the equivalent current density Jb and Jt corresponding surface
beneath and above the surface of the patch.

Figure 1.12 - electrical distribution and power lines
Since most of the range of actual antenna ratio on the dielectric height of the
patch width (h / W) is small, the dominant mechanism of smoking and most focus and
the flow of electricity primarily in underneath the patch, a few flow around the edges
of the patch. However, this current will decrease with the decrease of the ratio (h / W).
When you reach a certain limit, the flow on the surface of the patch will not, then in the
ideal case would seem to create tangential component of the magnetic field. This
allows as four surrounding walls created by the perfect surface that resulted from the
ideal case would not disturb the magnetic field and electric field distribution under the
patch. Due to the fact the limit of the ratio h / W, although small, tangential component
at the edges will not completely zero, but very small value. An approximate way we
see the walls surrounding the leads from this entirely will result in a good distribution
of the electric field and magnetic field under the standardized patch, making analysis
easier.
If micro-strip antenna is regarded as only a cavity, it will not be enough to
calculate the absolute magnitude of the electric and magnetic fields. In fact, regarded
by the walls of the cavity in which it is material loss at least, will not cavity radiation
and its impedance to be fully reflected. To calculate the radiation loss mechanisms are
included. That is taken into account radiation resistance resistors RA and two resistors
RL loss making in complex impedance on its function extremely complex. The saps
are taken into account by introducing the coefficient of loss tangent (loss of) effective.

Due to the thickness of the micro strip antennas very small waves generated within
dielectric (between the patch and ground) are subject to significant reflection when we
go to the edge of the patch. So only a small fraction of the energy to be radiated, so the

Micro-strip antenna radiation field radiation field is the sum of two element
array, with each element representing a slot. When two identical slots can be calculated
by the total generation capacity of the array for two slots.
The radiation slot

CHAPTER 2
MICROSTRIP ANTENNA ARRAY
In the previous chapter we have discussed and analyzed the characteristics ofthe antenna elements of a single strip. However, the radiation beam micro strip
antennas typically a relatively large and highly oriented, low-gain. In many practical
applications, we need to design the antenna orientation properties (high gain) to meet
some of the requirements of long-distance communication. To do that we need to
increase the size of the antenna. However, there is another way: instead of increasing
the size of one antenna would like to include multiple antennas to form a multiple
antenna system, called the antenna array, the shape and size appropriate, and each of
which is called a single antenna element antenna. In general, an antenna array can be a
set of arbitrary antenna elements, but in reality people often use these elements is
identical to facilitate the analysis and theory construction.

Figure 2.1 - Four types of antenna array geometry
The total radiation field of the antenna array is determined by taking the vector
sum of the radiation from the antenna element. To get a level of radiation is high, the
orientation of the magnetic field vector element should resonate intersect in a desired
direction and cancel each other out in the remaining space. In an antenna array of the
same element, we can change the characteristics of the radiation through an array of the
following controls:
Changing the geometry of the array (linear, circular, rectangular, bridges).
Changing the relative distance between the particles.
Change the stimulus amplitude signal for each element.

including uniform linear array, circular array, two-dimensional array, 3-dimensional
array
Within the scope of this topic, we will focus more research on two-dimensional
array antenna (planar array) is built on the basis of one-dimensional linear array. For
simplicity, we will first learn two-element antenna array as a basis for theory building
two dimensional array antennas.

In such is a phase difference signal between the two antenna elements, and
the signal amplitude of the radiation is the same two elements. When surveyed schools

The coefficient is a function of the array geometry and array signal phase
excitation. By changing the distance d and, or between two phases, the characteristic
element of the array factor and the total radiation field of the array can be controlled.
General form:
E (total) = [E (antenna in the benchmark)] [coefficient array] (2-5)
This expression is considered as the radiation rules for array elements in the
same array (array uniformity).
Each segment has its own array of coefficients and in general it is a function of
the number of elements in the array, the geometric arrangement, amplitude, phase andrelative distance of them. Expression array coefficient becomes easier when the
elements in the array have the same amplitude, and phase, and the same distance.
Because the system does not depend on an array of characteristics of the orient
themselves antenna radiation elements, so we can identify it by replacing the source
element carried by the (isotropic) and assuming a point source with phase, amplitude,
and position of the element to which it replaced. Once we have identified the
coefficient arrays using arrays of point sources, the radiation field of the array to getfrom (2-5).
In the previous chapter, we give the expression of the intensity of the antenna
elements of a single band, it was rewritten as follows:

Thus, the remaining problem is going to find the array AF system so that can get
a total field strength of micro strip antenna array. Here we will find an array coefficient
of linear arrays and two-dimensional array.
2.2 N ELEMENT LINEAR ARRAY - MINUTES OF UNIFORMUNIFORM AND DISTANCE
Considering the array of n identical elements are placed along the z axis as
shown in Figure 2.3 (a), assuming N elements have the same signal amplitude but the
phase difference between two consecutive elements is. When the array is called array
uniformity.
Coefficient array can be when we see the antenna element is the point source(isotropic source). When the element is not the source of the total radiation field is
obtained by the radiation field of an antenna element is taken as the reference (usually
at the origin) with a coefficient array of point sources. These are the rules of the
radiation field (2-5) and only applies to the array of the same element. Array factor is
calculated as follows:

it can be performed by any of the vector sum of the vectors have unit amplitude and

phase diagram we see that for the AF uniform arrays can be controlled by selecting the
appropriate phase relative. As for the heterogeneous array amplitude and phase can be
used to control AF.

n = 1,2,3 .. ,2 ,3 , .....n N N N
the value of N will determine the degree of the null (level 1, level 2, ...). To survive, the
zero value of the expression arccosine argument is not greater than one. Thus the
number of null values may be a function of the distance d and phase deviation.
The maximum value of (2-13) occurs when:
11 ( cos ) cos2 2 2m m
kd m md
(2-16)
m = 0,1,2,
Array factor in (2-14) has only one maximum value and occurs when m = 0 in
(2-16), it means = 0. This is evident when one observes phase diagram in Figure 2.3
(b). When = 0, all vectors are located on a straight line. At this point AF module vector
sum of the vector module components. We have:
11 ( cos ) 0 cos2 2m m
kd d
(2-17)
So if you want the array direction of maximum radiation is the phase difference
between two consecutive antenna elements will be:
cos mkd (2-18)

2.2.1. Broadside array and End-Fire array
In many applications we need to design the array so that the maximum radiation
direction perpendicular to the axis of the array of array (broadside, = 900 of Figure
2.3A). Then in order to optimize the design of the antenna array elements and factors
should be calculated as = 900 directions. For this antenna element can be done by
selecting the appropriate radiation pattern, but for us, we need an array of choices
about how and how the signal level for a reasonable element .
As we mentioned above, the peak of the array:
cos 0kd (2-21)
As to the design maximum radiation direction = 900 should be:
90cos 0okd (2-22)
-
8/10/2019 Design Array of Microstrip Antenna.docx
65/104
Design of Microstrip Antenna Array
Nguyen Trong Quynh- Class Telecommunications-Advanced Training Program-Course 53 Page 65
Therefore, for uniform linear array with maximum radiation direction is
broadside-axis perpendicular to the array - then all the elements in the array should be
mixed excitation signal (but it also has the same amplitude signals effect). The distance
between the elements can be any. However, to ensure there is no maximum valueappear in the other direction (called grating lobe), the distance between the elements is
not equal to a multiple of the wavelength ( , 1,2,3,...d n n ) when 0 . If
, 1,2,3,...d n n and 0 then:
0,1800
cos 2 cos 2od nkd n n
(2-23)
With this value instead of the one (2-13) will also make the system reach a
maximum value array. Thus for uniform arrays when 0 , d = n and maximum
broadside direction ( 90 o ), the array also has the maximum value in the direction
along the axis of the array ( 0,180 o ) - called end-fire radiation.
In the real world design, in addition to the main beam peak, people often avoid
the other peak beam (called grating lobe) have the same value as the main beam. This
requires the greatest distance between the particles must be smaller than a wavelength.That is maxd .
To illustrate the idea of this design, three-dimensional radiation pattern of the
array factor for uniform array of 10 elements (N = 10) with 0 and d = / 4 are
plotted in Figure 2.4 (a). We find the maximum value of the array radiation appears
only in the broadside direction ( 90 o ). For comparison, if the distance between the
particles d = increases the radiation pattern of the array coefficients are plotted inFigure 2.4 (b). I found out in the direction of maximum radiation, the array also
appeared in two different directions and maximum in 0o and 180 o .
