Antenna Theory #11 | Antenna Arrays & Array Factor | Pattern Multiplication

Antenna Theory

Instructor: Dr. Süleyman Burak ÇELİK

This lesson introduces antenna arrays and the array factor concept that makes their analysis tractable. We start with the motivation for using multiple antenna elements instead of a single radiator, then work through the two-element array to build intuition. The key insight is pattern multiplication: the total pattern equals the element pattern times the array factor.
