In summary, before finding a solution, it is important to clearly define the problem and gather relevant information and data. It is also important to consider existing solutions and potential limitations or challenges that may arise. To ensure effectiveness, a plan for testing and evaluation should be in place.

This is part of the antenna field pattern calculation, I want to find out is there any way to find the [itex] \;\theta\;[/itex] of this:

[tex] \frac 1 N \left[\frac {\sin(N\theta)}{sin\theta}\right]\;\hbox { = 0.7071 where N is an integer bigger than 1}[/tex]

you can use the identity
[itex]\sin N\theta = \sum_{k=0}^N \binom{N}{k} \cos^k \theta\,\sin^{N-k} \theta\,\sin\left(\frac{1}{2}(N-k)\pi\right)[/itex]
to obtain a polynomial in [itex] \sin \theta [/itex] which can then be solved for [itex] \theta [/itex]. However, you will probably need to solve it numerically for [itex]N>3[/itex].
 

1. What is the problem that needs to be solved?

The first step in finding a solution is clearly defining the problem. This will help determine the best approach and potential solutions.

2. What research or data is available to help solve this problem?

Gathering information and data related to the problem can provide valuable insight and guide the decision-making process for finding a solution.

3. Are there any existing solutions that can be applied to this problem?

It's important to consider if there are any existing solutions that may be adapted or modified to fit the current problem. This can save time and resources in the search for a solution.

4. What are the potential limitations or challenges in finding a solution?

It's important to be aware of any potential roadblocks or limitations that may arise in the process of finding a solution. This will help in developing a realistic and effective solution.

5. How can we test and evaluate the effectiveness of a potential solution?

Once a solution is proposed, it's important to have a plan for testing and evaluating its effectiveness. This will help determine if the solution is successful and if any adjustments need to be made.
