values of “a” spacing and antennas of equal current and unequal
phase.

The Effect of Separation Between Antennas
• In general, the effect of increasing the separation between
antennas of an array is two‐fold:
‐ the number of lobes in the pattern will increase, and
‐ the major lobes will decrease in width.

Phasor Rotation
Since these two antennas have equal current amplitudes and equal
current phases of 0, it is apparent that the maximum resultant field
intensity occurs on the reference line ( = 0). In light of the
preceding chapter, as the point of observation is moved from the
reference line (a change in the angle ), the individual antenna
phasors rotate in opposite directions by an amount given by the
quantity (a sin ).
a sin = phasor rotation.
