Abstract :
Oblique Fibonacci samplings provide a methodology to improve the accuracy of numerical calculations for various antenna performance parameters since they are not parallel to the radiation pattern similarities. Conclusions drawn from the periodic array example illustrate how this method can reduce the amount of time required to evaluate far field radiation characteristics of antennas.
