maybe their 'smaller' means smaller absolute values.. so that would give
numbers like -15db, -10db, etc... which would indeed be worse.

Somebody finally got the problem.

Side lobes smaller than -20 dB are better. Smaller than -20 dB is -25
dB, -30 dB.

If it was stated as "-20 dB or less", that could/migh be interpreted as -15
dB, -10db. It is a language problem.

Now... What was the OP really asking? and what was the author really trying
to say? Probably what most assumed, but that isn't what he wrote.
