    The document discusses binomial arrays, which are antenna arrays whose excitation coefficients are determined from the binomial expansion of a generating function. It explains that the coefficients from the binomial expansion represent the relative amplitudes of the antenna elements. The document also provides the design procedure for binomial arrays, including how to determine the excitation coefficients from Pascal's triangle for a given number of array elements.

    The next step is to determine the values of the
    excitation coefficients .
     Binomial Array
     Excitation Coefficients:
     The function be written in a series, using the binomial
    expansion, as
    The positive coefficients of the series expansion for different values of m
    are :

    •The coefficients of the expansion represent the relative


    amplitudes of the elements.
    •Since the coefficients are determined from a binomial series
    expansion, the array is known as a binomial array.
    Design Procedure
     One of the requirements is the amplitude excitation
    coefficients for a given number of elements. This can be
    accomplished by using the Pascal triangle

     Other figures of merit are the directivity, half-power beam


    width and side lobe level.

     As it is known that binomial arrays do not exhibit any minor


    lobes provided the spacing between the elements is equal or
    less than one-half of a wavelength and no grating for d< λ.
     1. Two elements (2M = 2)=>a1 = 1
     2. Three elements (2M + 1 = 3)
    =>2a1 = 2➱a1 = 1 and a2 = 1
     3. Four elements (2M = 4)
    =>a1 = 3 and a2 = 1
     Design a three-element binomial array of isotropic elements
    positioned along the z-axis a distance d apart. Find the
     (a) Normalized excitation coefficients
     (b) Array factor
     (c) Nulls of the array factor for d = λ/2
     (d) Maxima of the array factor for d = λ/2
