Is there a relation or formula to calculate directivity index of an underwater acoustic transducer array, given the half power beamwidths of the array in azimuth and elevation planes.

Welcome to PF.

What have you found so far in your reading? Can you post some links to your reading and ask specific questions about that reading? That's probably the best way to get you started on this question.

Also, do you have any experience with RF antenna arrays? Some of the math will be similar.
 
Hello! I want to generate an RF magnetic field at variable frequencies (from 1 to 20 MHz) using this amplifier: https://www.minicircuits.com/WebStore/dashboard.html?model=LZY-22%2B, by passing current through a loop of current (assume the inductive resistance is negligible). How should I proceed in practice? Can i directly connect the loop to the RF amplifier? Should I add a 50 Ohm in series? Thank you!
