Abstract :
The exact method of designing an array of dipole antennas with the prescribed radiation patterns in the magnetic plane is described. The integral of the current distribution, which is expressed according to the improved circuit theory, is set equal to the magnitude of the point source, which is given by the conventional synthesis method. The current distributions and the correct set of driving voltages or currents are sought to the prescribed radiation pattern simultaneously by the present method.
