In this section we are going to analyze the variation of number of elements (N)

while fixing the distance (d) between those elements.

MatLab Code:

lam=1/2;

 N=input('Number of elements in array=');

d=lam/2;

theta=0:0.01:2*pi;

Bd=(2*pi/lam)*d*cos(theta);

num=sin(N*Bd/2);

den=sin(Bd/2);

F=abs(num./den);

 polar(theta,F);

y=['N = ',num2str(N),'; Wavelength = 1/2'];

Conclusion:

The above figures shows the radiation pattern at N=2, 8, 14 and20. From

the above figures we can conclude that as the number of elements N is

increased,  decreases and consequently the Directivity increases.

In addition to that the numbers of side lobes are multiplying at the center

of the radiation pattern.

In order to avoid the appearance of grating side lobes in the radiation

 pattern d should be ≤

The code below shows that we have modified d to be ≤

Matlab Code:

lam=1/2;

 N=input('Number of elements in array=');

d=lam/4;

theta=0:0.01:2*pi;

Bd=(2*pi/lam)*d*cos(theta);

num=sin(N*Bd/2);

den=sin(Bd/2);

F=abs(num./den);

 polar(theta,F);

y=['N = ',num2str(N),'; Wavelength = 1/4'];

title(y);

The simulation will be at N=8 and the figures below show the results.

The figure on the left shows that when we take d less than the wave length the sidelobes decrease, so as we decrease d the number of lobes decreases.

Conclusion:

We can conclude from the above figures that as

  increases, number of lobes will

increase and starts to radiate.

Conclusion:

The above figures shows the radiation pattern at N=2, 8, 15 and20. From

the above figures we can conclude that as the number of elements N is

increased,  decrease and we observe huge amount of side lobes at thecenter.

Conclusion:

It’s clear that when we vary

 : between 0.1 and 1.5 there’s unwanted

radiations resulted from the side lobes in unlike when we varied the

number of elements N.
