Analytical estimations of the side lobe characteristics for the pattern factor of the continuous uniform line source in electromagnetics

Abstract

Abstract This contribution proposes an interesting analytical method to estimate the side lobe characteristics for the pattern factor of the continuous uniform line source in electromagnetics. The new solutions are observed more precise than the classical analytical estimations. Detailed formulas and results are given in explicit validation of the methodology. In particular, to estimate the first side lobe direction, the error between the new method and the truly accurate one is only −0.08%, whereas for the classical analytical study is about 4.87%.
