Detailed Documentation

Radiation Pattern of 7x7 Half-Wave Dipole Antenna Planar Array - A simple program for antenna pattern visualization. This program calculates and displays the directional characteristics of a 7x7 planar array composed of half-wave dipole antennas. The radiation pattern serves as a two-dimensional visual representation of antenna energy distribution, illustrating radiation intensity across different directions. Through analysis of the radiation pattern, key parameters such as main lobe direction, radiation angles, and intensity distribution can be determined. The program implementation likely involves array factor calculation using element spacing and phase relationships, with pattern synthesis algorithms for dipole elements. Array geometry configuration and mutual coupling effects between adjacent elements are considered in the computation. This utility helps engineers better understand and evaluate antenna performance, facilitating optimization of antenna design and array layout through visual pattern analysis and parameter adjustment capabilities.
