Computer analysis of conformal phase arrays
Abstract
A systematic method of analyzing conformal arrays on a general surface is described. A computer program is included in this report along with the necessary subroutines. By using proper input data cards and the subroutines, the program can be used for the arrays on a general conformal surface or well-defined surface like that of a circular cylinder, circular torus, cone, or a plane. The computer output includes a printout and a plot of the radiation patterns. Crosspolarization, if any, will be plotted on the same curve.
