Approximating expression |
Note |
|
|
G(ψ )=G0 for {-0,5α0 ≤ ψ≤ 0,5α0 } 0 for other values of ψ |
ψ - the angle in the plane to which the approximation applies (θ or φ); α0 - the width of the main lobe of the radiation pattern in the approximation plane at the -3 dB level (Δθ0,5 or Δφ0,5) |
|
|
G(ψ )=G0sin2(2,81ψ/α0 )/(2,81ψ/α0 )2 |
|
|
|
G(ψ )=G0cos4(1,14ψ/α0 ) |
|
|
|
G(ψ )=G0exp{-2,78(ψ/α0 )2} |
