main lobe width
How can I define width of main lobe?
Thank you so much!
dont know
Beamwidth is commonly expressed as -3 dB width. It seems that the -3 db level is at about 15 deg. So the 3 db beamwidth would be 2 times 15 = 30 deg.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beamwidth.
The above answer is literally correct. I note that your pattern is from 0 to 90 degrees. What is the pattern for the other 270 degrees, and in the other plane? Are you after -3dB or -10dB beamwidths, null to null beamwidth? All are encountered but -3 dB is most common.
The full pattern might change the answer. Note also that this is probably an elevation pattern with the beam pointing straight up (variable theta at phi=1 deg)
Another way to get at the beamwidth is to estimate it based upon the aperture dimensions. BW(deg) = 65/(D/λ) The constant changes with aperture distribution but this is usually a reasonable estimate.
- Need help in CST time domain plot
- how gain remain same in mixer using current bleeding
- RF Ground current is it 180deg out of phase from main RF current
- Time-Domain Reflectometer (TDR) to find distance to an object
- determaine the reflection Coefficient from pyramidal absorber.
- 50Hz mains to MHz range? Can it be done?
