There is a general expression for the array factor
of the binomial array:

of angle of the array pattern (power in dB) normalized to 0 dB at
maximum:

•GeneralLinearArray
With the choice of function as simply unity ( expressed
as a pure function by
we get the uniform array that is examined below under UniformLinearArray:
In[31]:=
Out[31]=
Bringing this into a (perhaps) more familiar form:
In[32]:=
Out[32]=
The first argument of GeneralLinearArray can also
be a list of array weights. This corresponds to an array
with 5 equally weighted elements:

In[34]:=

Here is the array factor for weights that vary according
to the form (give as a pure function) :

Here is its normalized form for n=6 with an inter
element spacing d=λ/2 steered to an angle of 45 degrees:
In[36]:=
Out[36]=
In[37]:=
As another example we consider an asymmetric distribution
of array weights (this will lead to a monopulse type beam pattern):
In[38]:=
In[40]:=
Here is an example for a 6-element
array:
In[41]:=
In[42]:=
Out[42]=
Since this array will have a two-lobed (monopulse)
main beam, we need to determine the location of a maximum to normalize. To
do this we use a function from the Mathematica standard add-on
package NumericalMath`NMinimize`, NMaximize.
First load the package:
In[43]:=
In[44]:=
Now find the position of a maximum for a 10 element
array:
In[45]:=
Out[45]=
This also shows us that the angle between the two
monopulse beams is (in degrees):
In[46]:=
Out[46]=
The slope of the pattern on boresight is also easily
determined via similar methods.
Finally plot the normalized result:
In[47]:=
The monopulse pattern in this broadside configuration
is clear.
