Broadside, End Fire & Binomial Array Antennas

This document discusses different types of antenna arrays, including broadside arrays, end-fire arrays, and binomial arrays. Broadside arrays use dipoles spaced half a wavelength apart to produce a bidirectional radiation pattern perpendicular to the array. End-fire arrays also use dipoles but spaced half a wavelength and fed 180 degrees out of phase, producing a radiation pattern in the plane of the elements. Binomial arrays arrange the amplitudes of radiating sources according to binomial coefficients to reduce side lobes and optimize directivity as array length increases.

Driven Arrays: Broadside


Antenna
A broadside array is a stacked collinear antenna
consisting of half-wave dipoles spaced from one
another by one-half wavelengths.
This antenna produces a highly directional
radiation pattern that is broadside or
perpendicular to the plane of the array.
The broadside antenna is bidirectional in radiation,
but the radiation pattern has a very narrow beam
width and high gain.

Broadside Array
Bidirectional Array
Uses Dipoles fed in phase and separated by 1/2
wavelength

Broadside arrays may also b e formed from


other types of elements, such as horns, slots,
helixes and polyrods

Radiation Pattern for Arrays


Depends on:

The type of the individual elements


Their orientation
Their position in space
The amplitude and phase of the current feeding them
The total number of elements

Broadside Arrays
Beam steering by phase variation is possible.

Driven Arrays: End-Fire


Antenna
The end-fire array uses two half-wave dipoles
spaced one-half wavelength apart.
The end-fire array has a bidirectional radiation
pattern, but with narrower beam widths and lower
gain.
The radiation is in the plane of the driven
elements.
A highly unidirectional antenna can be created by
careful selection of the optimal number of
elements with the appropriately related spacing.

End-Fire Array
Similar to broadside array except dipoles are fed
180 degrees out of phase

Radiation max. off the ends

End-fire Arrays
Higher directivity.
Provide increased directivity in elevation and azimuth
planes.

Generally used for reception.


Impedance match difficulty in high power transmissions.
Variants are:
Horizontal Array of Dipoles
RCA Fishborne Antenna
Series Phase Array

End fire arrays

F: End-fire antennas. (a) Bidirectional. (b) Unidirectional.

Binomial array antenna


Binomial array is an array of non-uniform
amplitudes and the amplitude of the radiating
sources are arranged according to the coefficient of successive term of thefollowing
binomial series and hence the name

Advantages
To reduce secondary lobes
2. to optimize them.
As we increase the array length the directivity
increases and side lobes appear.

Pattern multiplication
Multiplication pattern is the total field pattern of
an array of non-isotropic but similar source

It is the multiplication of the individual source


pattern and the pattern of an array of isotropic
point source each located at the phase centre of
individual sources having the relative amplitude
and phase T

The total phase pattern is the addition of the


phase pattern of the individual source and that
of the array of isotropic point sources.

Principle
The total field pattern of an array of nonisotropic but similar sources is the product of the
individual source &The array pattern of isotropic
point sources each located at the phase centre
of the individual source and the array pattern of
isotropic point sources each located at the
phase centre of the individual sources having
the same amplitude and phase.
