Name: Problem 2. (Option # 1 ) Five half wavelength dipole antennas are used as sources to form a linear phased array antenna, as shown below. These elements are all excited by sinusoidal current source of equal amplitude and phase followed by phase shifters. (9 pts.) a) If d 2, write the expression for array factor of the linear array. (9 pts.) b) Find total field at observation point P: (r, 0, 6) at far-field (i.e., kr>1). (8 pts.) c) How much progressive phase shift is required for beam pointing in broadside, end-fire, and the 0-60°? Discuss how to achieve this required phase shift in the end-fire case. (12 pts.) d) Show radiation pattern of array factor using CAD array program for end-fire and show the number of nulls and side-lobe levels in the visible space. (12 pts.) e) Show the overall radiation pattern of end-fire phased array and calculate its maximum gain using pattern multiplication principle. P: (r, 0, 6) i=1 i-2 i-2 i--1 j-0 ridga i -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
