DIRECTIVITY MAXIMIZATION OF THE SHORT WAVE BAND PHASED ANTENNA ARRAY
Theory of optimization of short wave band phased antenna array requires further development in the sense that it may be necessary to maximize directivity of the antenna system radiation. Consideration of the theory in this aspect is the aim of this work. It also considers an example of the application of this theory to the four-element array of asymmetrical radiators. The results obtained by this explicit mathematical calculations confirm published earlier statement that the optimization of the directivity does not coincide with the optimization of the gain.
