Taylor line-source synthesis

 

--> This program module allows the calculation of the normalized coefficients {In} which produce the desired broadside radiation pattern, by using the Taylor method.

The Antenna parameters panel allows us to select the number and the spacing of radiating elements, as well as the number of minor lobes below a specified level:

  • The number of antennas along Z can be modified by both inserting its value directly and increasing or decreasing it by using the + or - keys.
  • The antennas spacing can be specified in terms of a fraction of the free-space wavelength.
  • The number of the first minor lobes (closest to the mail lobe) mantained at an equal level can be specified.
In the bottom left-hand corner you can see a sketch of the position of each antenna on the linear array, of the continuous current distribution and of its discretization. The current amplitude of each antenna can be displayed in the Antenna parameters panel by selecting the desired Antenna no.

The Radiation pattern panel shows the 2D or the 3D radiation pattern of the specified linear array:

  • In 2D, you can show the radiation pattern in the XY, YZ and XZ plane.
  • In 3D, you can click on the pattern and change the view of the radiation pattern using your mouse.
