How is a broadside array excited?

  • A.All elements in phase
  • B.Elements with a progressive phase equal to the spacing delay
  • C.Alternate elements in antiphase
  • D.Elements with amplitudes decreasing towards the edges

Answer: A

Feeding every element in phase makes the contributions add in the direction perpendicular to the array line, where all path lengths are equal, giving the broadside beam. A progressive phase matching the inter-element delay gives end fire instead. Antiphase excitation produces a null broadside, and amplitude tapering is a side lobe control applied on top of whichever phase distribution is chosen. Phase decides where the beam points; amplitude decides what the side lobes look like.
