What is the chief property of a binomial array?

  • A.No side lobes at all when the spacing is half a wavelength
  • B.The narrowest possible main beam for its length
  • C.Equal side lobes across the whole pattern
  • D.The highest directivity of any amplitude distribution

Answer: A

Weighting the elements by the binomial coefficients removes the side lobes entirely at half wavelength spacing, which is unmatched by any other distribution. The price is a much wider main beam and a very low aperture efficiency, since the outer elements contribute almost nothing. Equal side lobes belong to the Chebyshev distribution and maximum directivity to the uniform one, so the three classical distributions occupy the three corners of the same trade.
