Antenna Arrays
Antenna formed by multi-elements arrangement to produce
radiation pattern
PROPERTIES:
1. Identical
2. 1D,2D,3D
3. Amplitude of current

magnitude of field radiated

4. (I) (E)
5. Total field= sum of individual fields
6. If I is equal then Eo = E1 = E2 = .. But 0 = 1 = 2 =

Types
Sectoral array- base station for mobile communication
Yagi-Uda array- tv and radio application
Log periodic array- tv reception

Case 1
Two isotropic antenna (A1 = A2 ), (1 = 2 ) and distance
d.

En=cos(cos)
max= 900 &
2700
min= 00 &
1800
hp = 600 &
1200

 For d= , =0
En = cos(cos)

For source 1 as reference

En= cos()
(/2)

Case 2
Same amplitude but opposite phase

En=sin(cos)
max= 00 &
1800
min= 900 &
2700

Case 3
Same amplitude and in phase quadrature

En=cos(cos)

Case 4
Equal

amplitude and any phase difference

En= cos(
Case 5
Unequal amplitude and any phase
difference
