Electromagnetic Diagram of 4 Antenna Array - Philip's Question

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking an electromagnetic diagram of a four-antenna array arranged in a square, with edges spaced one wavelength apart. The discussion clarifies that the term "electromagnetic diagram" was coined by the user to explore how the antennas' waves interact. There is uncertainty about the type of antennas being referenced, as the original question does not specify. The user speculates that the strongest combined radiation may occur diagonally from the corners due to constructive interference from three antennas. The conversation highlights a lack of detailed information on antennas in the user's reference material.

Just wondering if anyone happens to have an electromagnetic diagram of how a four antenna array would look. Provided that all four antennas’ form a square and edges are one wavelength in distance?
Thanks

What is an "electromagnetic diagram?" What kind of antennas? Dipoles? Why would you want to make a square out of them?

sorry I kind of made up the term "electromagnetic diagram", I just wanted to see how the electromagnetic waves interact with each other(being from the 4 different antennas).


"What kind of antennas? Dipoles?"
The homework problem does not make mention of this

"Why would you want to make a square out of them?"
The question is asking in what horizontal direction will the combined radiation be the strongest at great distance away.

Unfortunately my book does not go into dept about antennas, it is in a chapter regarding physical optics.

Thinking about it this morning, I'm guessing the direction where the strongest combined radiation will be diagonally from the corners. I'm figuring this because you would have 3 antennas contributing in constructive interference?

are you referring to a diagram of the antenna array's directivity?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
