Assignment #1
(Array Antennas)
(Should be submitted by 5th week)
Part (1): Uniform Array
1) 4.1 Use Eq. (4.14) and MATLAB and plot the array factor in rectangular
coordinate form for the following broadside array cases
(a) N = 4, d = /2
(b) N = 8, d = /2
(c) N = 8, d =
2) 4.2 For the three arrays given in Prob. 4.1, calculate null and s for each of
the arrays given above.
3) 4.4 Use MATLAB and the command trapz( ) to calculate the maximum
directivity for the following two arrays:
(a) Broadside with N = 8, d = /2
(b) End-fire with N = 8, d = /2
4) 4.5 Use MATLAB and the command trapz( ) to calculate the maximum
directivity for the beamsteered array where d = /2, N = 8.
(a) 0 = 30
(b) 0 = 45
5) 4.6 What is the beamwidth for the following array parameters?
(a) 0 = 0, N = 8, d = /2
(b) 0 = 45, N = 8, d = /2
(c) 0 = 90, N = 8, d = /2

Part (2): Non Uniform Array


6) 4.7 For an N = 6, d = /2 uniformly weighted broadside array, plot the array
factor. Superimpose plots of the same array with the following weights.
(Create one new plot for each new set of weights)
(a) Kaiser-Bessel for = 2 using kaiser(N, )
(b) Blackman-Harris using blackmanharris(N)
(c) Nuttall using nuttallwin(N)
(d) Chebyshev window for R = 30 dB using chebwin(N, R)

7) 4.10 Using MATLAB, create and superimpose three normalized array


factor plots using the chebwin( ) function for R = 40 and beamsteer the
array to three angles such that 0 = 0, 30, 60. N = 9, d = /2.
8) 4.12 For d = /2, use MATLAB and plot the N = 8 element array
beamwidth for a range of steering angles such that 0 < 0 < 90.

Part (3): Planar Uniform Array


9) 4.15 Design and plot a 5 5 element array with equal element spacing such
that dx = dy = .5. Let the array be beamsteered to 0 = 45 and 0 = 90.
The element weights are chosen to be the Blackman-Harris weights using
the blackmanharris( ) command in MATLAB. Plot the pattern for the range
0 /2 and 0 2.

Part (4): Fixed Beam Array


10) 4.16 Using Buttler matrix (Eq (4.56)), create scalloped beams for the N =
6-element array with d = /2.
(a) What are the l values?
(b) What are the angles of the scalloped beams?
(c) Plot and superimpose all beams on a polar plot similar to Fig. 4.29
11) For the shown 4x4 Butler matrix
with 3 dB / +90 coupler, find the
magnitudes of the excitation angles
of the four elements array antenna
and their crosssponding maximum
angles,

assuming

separation

between

the

distance

elements

is

d=/2.

12) 4.17 For the fixed beam sidelobe canceller with N = 3-antenna elements,
calculate the array weights to receive the desired signal at D = 30, and to
suppress the interfering signals arriving at 1 = 30 and 2 = 60.
