Code 3.1: Array Factor for Uniformly Spaced Array

Code Name: ArrayFactor_UniformlySpacedArray.m

Description: Code computes the array factor as defined by Eq. (3.86) for an N-element uniformly spaced array.

Input Variables:

  N:    Number of array elements
  ai:    Amplitudes of feeding coefficients, i = 0 to N − 1 (arbitrary units)
  Ψi:    Phase angles of feeding coefficients, i = 0 to N − 1 (degrees)
  d:    Spacing between adjacent elements (m)
  f:    Frequency (GHz)

Output Products:

  Plot:    Normalized array factor Fa(Θ) versus Θ
