Coherent effects in single scattering and random errors in antenna technology

Sjöberg, Daniel LU orcid (2002) In Technical Report LUTEDX/(TEAT-7109)/1-21/(2002)
Abstract
Lack of knowledge prevents us from exactly calculating the behavior of electromagnetic

fields. We study two extremes in this respect: scattering against

randomly distributed particles (no idea of the position or orientation of the

scatterers), and random errors in antenna technology (small deviations from

what we think are the proper parameters). Random variables are used to

model our lack of knowledge, and far field expressions are studied. Using the

concept of characteristic functions from probability theory, results for arbitrary

probability distributions are obtained. We explain an anomaly in the

forward scattering direction in single scattering theory, present... (More)

forward scattering direction in single scattering theory, present simple formulas

for the directivity, side lobe level, and beam efficiency for a general

array antenna with random errors, and a simple formula for the scattering

coefficient from a general frequency selective structure with random errors. (Less)
