Radiation Pattern Sidelobes and Null Filling Produced by Aircraft Vibration,

Abstract

We have studied the effect of the temporal vibrations of an array of radiators on their radiation pattern. Results are obtained for both large and small vibration amplitudes in the limit when the vibrations are periodic. In general the vibration-induced sidelobe levels are found to depend on the size of the vibration in wavelengths, the spatial distance over which the vibrations are correlated, and the number of elements in the array.
