Measurements and Tolerances There are excellent books on measurements, listed below, Thus only special topics pertinent to arrays will be discussed herein. These are: measurement of low sidelobe antennas; array diagnostics; and scan impedance simulators. Because array performance is affected by random errors, tolerances are also discussed in this chapter. A. E. Bailey, Microwave Measurement, IEE/Peregrinus, 1985. 1988. G. H.

Consider patterns such as the Taylor n. As the observation distance R moves in from infinity the first sidelobe rises and the null starts filling. Then the sidelobe becomes a shoulder on the now wider main beam and the second null rises see Fig. 12.1. This process continues as the distance decreases. To first order the results are dependent only on design sidelobe level. Figure 12.2 shows the distance at which the first sidelobe is raised a given amount for values of SLR from 13 uniform to 60b dB Hansen 1984 . This graph also shows distances at which the first sidelobe is shouldered. Thus the accuracy of measurement may be traded against the measurement distance. 453 454 Amplitude d8 Figure 12.1 Taylor pattern for SLR 40dB n 11. source.
