Abstract :
The analysis of an antenna array may be reduced to the solution of a set of linear equations. For large arrays, the solution of the set of equations requires considerable computer time. This communication shows how the matrix properties arising in the special case of a linear equally spaced array can be exploited to devise an efficient method for solving the set of equations.
