[1] The kd-bd (dispersion) equations are found for traveling waves on two-and three-dimensional infinite periodic arrays of small lossless acoustic monopoles, electric or magnetic dipoles, and magnetodielectric spheres. Using Floquet mode expansions and then expressions for the rapid summation of Schlömilch series, prohibitively slowly convergent summations are converted to forms that can be used for the efficient calculation of the kd-bd equations. Computer programs have been written to obtain the kd-bd diagrams for all the arrays treated, and representative numerical results are presented and discussed. Expressions, more accurate than the Clausius-Mossotti relations, are obtained for the effective or bulk permittivity and permeability of the arrays utilizing quantities readily available from the solutions of the kd-bd equations. Exact computable expressions for the fields of three-dimensional lossless or lossy magnetodielectric sphere arrays that are finite in the direction of the array axis, illuminated by a plane wave parallel to the array axis, are obtained from the analyses performed to obtain the kd-bd curves for the infinite arrays.Citation: Shore, R.

Several methods for synthesis of array antenna patterns with prescribed nulls are reviewed. Methods based on full amplitude/phase control at each array element and methods with a restricted number of degrees of freedom are compared, with attention focused on the characteristic features of the resultant patterns. These features are largely independent of any algorithm for achieving the nulls, and therefore they also provide a perspective on the performance of adaptive antenna systems, which employ these various control architectures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
