| General conclusions: | |||||||||||||||||
| 1) | When the dipole length is decreased, gain of the main beams decreases (not desirable), the front-to-back ratio decreases (not desirable), and the strength of the first left & right side-lobe increases relative to the two main beams (not desirable) | ||||||||||||||||
| 2) | The gain of the two main beams is relatively insensitive to spacing between the front dipoles and the reflector dipoles. | ||||||||||||||||
| 3) | The strength of the first side-lobes left & right of the two main beams, is relatively insensitive to the variation of the parameters. The relative strength is -9 to -12 dB. | ||||||||||||||||
| 4) | The strength of the other side- and rear-lobes is sensitive to spacing between the front dipoles and the reflector dipoles, and to the dipole diameter. | ||||||||||||||||
| 5) | Side/rear-lobes other than 1st, down from main: decreases with decrease in dipole diameter | ||||||||||||||||
| 6) | The width of the two main beams is relatively insensitive to array dimensions, other than the number of dipoles. The beam-width is 10°-12°. | ||||||||||||||||
| 7) | The angle between the two main beams is relatively insensitive to array dimensions, other than the number of dipoles. The angle is 20°-24°. | ||||||||||||||||
| 8) | The total number of pattern-lobes increases when lateral spacing between the dipoles is increased. For the evaluated configurations, this even number varies from 10 to 16. | ||||||||||||||||
