  Antenna Pattern

 Demo 9.2: Paraboloc Dish Antenna

A parabolic dish fed by a dipole or a small horn placed at the dish's focal point is an example of an aperture antenna. If the aperture is illuminated uniformly (or approximately so), its radiation pattern takes the form of a sinc function, as discussed in Section 9-8. This demo illustrates the dependence of the pattern on the size of the antenna, expressed in terms of d/.



Display the patterns for the following antenna sizes:
  d/=2.
  d/=4.
  d/=8.
  d/=16.
  d/=32.
