AIM:- Write a program for Array Factor pattern of N Element amplitude

endfire array
Software :version Scilab 5.5.2
Theory:-
the phase-difference α between adjacent elements is equal to 2πdλ radians, the
co nditio n for a maximum of radiation is satisfied wh en φ = 90 °
a n d for this value only ,provided that d < λ/2. The maximum field intensity is
radiated in a direction along the line of the array, “off the end” rather than off the
side. Hence the name endfire array.
The maximum is toward only one of the ends of the array, rather than in both
the endfire directions. In terms of Fig, if the progressive phase change is a
retardation going in the direction of the positive y-axis by the amount α per element,
the beam will be in the φ = 90° direction. If the sign of α is changed, or its
a m o u n t i s i n c r e a s e d b y 1 8 0 d e g r e e s w i t h o u t c h a n g i n g t h e element
spacing, the beam will be in the direction
φ = 270°.Although the condition stated above for the value of α results in an endfire
array, it does not result in an endfire pattern with the maximum possible
directivity and
narrowest possible beam
