Abstract :
The equations and the notation for the analysis of arrays of discrete elements located on the surface of a sphere axe derived and discussed. Methods are also given for finding the coordinates of the far field points needed to calculate the antenna pattern that would be observed in a plane chosen to pass through the main beam. Such patterns would be observed if a spherical array were mounted on the usual antenna turntables currently available.
