Authors\´ reply [to comments on "Pattern characteristics of harmonic and intermodulation products in broad-band active transmit arrays"]

The author replies to the comments of Loyka see ibid., vol.51, no.7, p.1683 (2003), Pointing out that a multiple signal transmit array with grating lobes will have intermodulation (IM) lobes associated with the grating lobes, as well as with the main lobe, is an important point. In some array applications, this can be very significant. Also, an array with significant energy radiated at a harmonic could support "harmonic grating lobes" even if the fundamental pattern does not have grating lobes.
