Optimization Methods for Arrays of Nonparallel Wire Antennas.

Abstract

Matrix methods are presented for optimization problems of arrays of straight, nonparallel, thin wire antennas. The general problem of optimizing certain performance indices with or without any number of constraints can be handled. The current distribution of any element of the array can be computed as a function of the voltages of the feed points of the array. First the moment method will be briefly given and then it will be shown how the matrices evaluated in the course of this method can be used in optimization problems. (Author)
