Default Zero Sidelobe Antenna Design

The example in Kraus showed isotropic radiators, but the same zero sidelobe,
infinite F/B descriptors for the array pattern apply for any pattern shape
generated by the individual radiators, as long as they are the same.

The FM broadcast antennas I referred to use standard FM c-pol elements fed
as I described, and have these characteristics -- except for re-radiation by
the tower.

Set up a simple NEC model using dipoles, and check for yourself.

Or you can look at mine in paper 10 at http://rfry.org
