Impact of number elements on array factor in linear arrays antenna

Abstract

The impact of number of elements on array factor shown in this paper. The array factor of an antenna is been a gain’s measurement. Therefore, a linear antenna will achieve a good signal’s propagation when they have ability to transmit the signal in the highest gain. This paper was investigated for 2, 3, 4 and 10 number of elements in the linear array antenna. Which are the spacing between elements is equal were fixed to half-wave lambda. It is observed that the array factor was increasing corresponding to the number of elements
