Description
Summary:Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === The relationship between beam coupling losses in multiple beam antennas and pattern parameters such as bandwidth and sidelobe level is investigated. A computer algorithm to calculate the coupling coefficients for arbitrary number of beams is implemented using MATLAB. Gain-loss data for various array amplitude distributions is presented.
