What does the principle of pattern multiplication state?

  • A.The impedance is multiplied by the number of elements
  • B.Total pattern is the element pattern times the array factor
  • C.Total gain is the sum of the individual element gains
  • D.The beamwidth is divided by the number of elements

Answer: B

For an array of identical, identically oriented elements, the resultant pattern is the product of the single element pattern and the array factor. It is the reason a Yagi's pattern can be understood as a dipole pattern shaped by the parasitic array geometry. Gains do not simply add, beamwidth narrows in a way that depends on the aperture rather than the count alone, and impedance is altered by mutual coupling rather than by multiplication.
