Two Isotropic Polnt Sources wlth Identical Amplitudes and 90'

waves leaving the left source of the transmitting aray in Fig. 3-5 and traveling_ in the
+z-direction ioiu" the right source delayed by 90' due to the quarter-wavelength path.
"t
But the excitation of the righl source lags the left source by 90o so waves in the +z-dilection
are in step and add in the far field. For *ur"r lgnying the right-hand source and traveling in
the -Z-direction, the phase at the location of rhe left source is 180' with respect to the wave
from the left soutce (90. from the path difference and 90" ftom the excitation). See Fig. 3-
50. At angles betwe;n 0 = 0. (+idirection) and 186e (-z-direction), there is a smooth
pattem vaiiation from 2 (perfect addition) to 0 (perfect cancellation). This pattern is shown
in Fig. 3-5c and is the so-called cardi oid pattern.It is used frequently in the area oJ acoustics
for iicrophone pattems. The response is strong in the diroction of the microphone input
and weaLin the direction where the speakers are aimed to reduce feedback'
using these excitations in (3-3) and Fig. 3-3d we can calculate the array factor expression

This agrees with the Pattem of Fig. 3-5c obtained by inspection.

Two ldentical Isotropic Point Sources SPaced One Wavelength Apart


(Fie. i-6)

Since the curreDts afe in-phase, the fields of each element add perfectly (i.e., double) in the
+.r-directions. Also, sincathe phase lag of the freld ftom one element is 36(f (one wavelength
additional path lengl.h) with respect to the other, their effects add perfectly in the fur field
in the tz-directions. However, with the one-wavelength spacing there are directions of per-
fect cancellation as indicated in Fig. 3-60. To determine these directions, we reason as follows.
For perfect caucellation, the waves from the two souices must be 180' out-of-phase. This
meaos a path leagth difference of one-half wavelength. Since the path length difference as a
function of 0 is A cos 0 (see Fig. 3-3c), we solve for the values of 0 such that

*j I

The solutions are 6ff and 12tr. By fitling in smooth variations between the maxima and zeros
indicated in Fig. 3-60, the pattem of Fig. 3{c results.

For a large artay (Nkd -+ large), (6-48) can be approximated by extending the
limits to inflnity. That is,

Using (6-41b) reduces (6-48a) to

and the directivity to

Another form of (6-49), using (6-43), is

D1- 4N (i) : ^(' . ;) (i) (6-49a)

which for a large array (L >> d) reduces to

Do- 4N(i) :-('-' :) (f)'t' -(i) (6-49b)

Itshould be noted that the directivity of the end-fire array, as given by $-a9)-
(6-49b), is twice that for the broadside array as given by (6-aD-6-44a).

Example 6,4
Given a Iinear', end-fire, unifornr array of l0 elements (N - 10) with a separation of Ll4((l :
)"/4) between the elements, find the directivity of the array factor. This array is identical to
the broadside array of Exa:rplc 6.3.

This value for the directivity (Do : 10) is approxitnate, based on the validity of (6-48a).
However, it compares vely favorably with the value of D0 : 10.05 obtained by nltmerically
integrating (6-45) using the DIRECTIVITY computer program of Chapter 2.

6.4.3 Hansen-Woodyard End-FireArray


For an end-fire array with improved directivity (Hansen-Woodyard designs) and rtax-
imum radiation in the 00:0' direction, the radiation intensity (for sma11 spacing
between the elements, d << ).) is given by (6-31)-(6-31b). The maximum radiation
intensity is unity (U,,,u* : 1), and the average radiation intensity is given by (6-34)
where q and u are defined, respectively, by (6-29a) and (6-34a). Using (6-29a), (6-34a),
(6-35), and (6-37), the r adiation intensity of (6-34) reduces to
