Synthesis and Optimization for Arrays of Nonparallel Wire Antennas by the Orthogonal Method.

Abstract

The orthogonal method is presented for synthesis and optimization problems of arrays of straight, nonparallel, thin-wire antennas. First by the moment method the far zone field and the performance indices of the array are represented by expressions useful for applying the orthogonal method. By a procedure similar to Gram-Schmidt method, the far zone field and the indices of the array are modified. The new expressions by a suitable procedure give helpful formulas for synthesis and optimization. Several examples for possible uses are included. (Author)
