Behavior of Array Antenna Patterns of Waveguide Elements on Large Conducting Cylinders.
Abstract
The element pattern of elements arrayed on a circular, symmetric array exhibits large changes in gain as the interelement spacing approaches 1 wavelength. This effect is caused by interference from creeping waves which are radiated as a result of the periodicity of the elements. Measured patterns from arrays of 8 ft and 16 ft diameters demonstrate these effects. (Author)
