Summary

Studies of coupled antennas in arrays may be separated into two groups: those which postulate a single convenient distribution of current along all structurally identical elements regardless of their relative locations in the array and those which seek to determine the actual currents in the several elements. Virtually all of the early and most of the more recent analyses are in the first group in which both field patterns and impedances have been obtained for elements with assumed currents. Pioneer work in the determination of field patterns of arrays of elements with sinusoidally distributed currents was carried out for uniform arrays by Bontsch-Bruewitsch [1] in 1926, by Southworth [2] in 1930, by Sterba [3] and by Carter et al. [4] in 1931. Early studies of non-uniform arrays are by Schelkunoff [5] in 1943, by Dolph [6] in 1946, and by Taylor and Whinnery [7] in 1951. The self- and mutual impedances of arrays of elements with sinusoidally distributed currents were studied especially by Carter [8] in 1932, by Brown [9] in 1937, by Walkinshaw [10] in 1946, by Cox [11] in 1947, by Barzilai [12] in 1948, and by Starnecki and Fitch [13] in 1948. A thorough presentation of the basic theory of antennas with sinusoidal currents was given by Brüuckmann [14] in 1939.
