Results: 1. Enter the value of no. of elements:- 10

Enter the value of spacing in fraction of wavelength:- 1/4 Major to minor lobe ratio in dB:- 10 So the excitation currents are:0.4463 0.4306 0.4003 0.3576 1.0000

2.
Enter the value of no. of elements:- 10 Enter the value of spacing in fraction of wavelength:- .25 Major to minor lobe ratio in dB:- 20 So the excitation currents are:1.0000 0.9214 0.7780 0.5944 0.6416

3.
Enter the value of no. of elements:- 10 Enter the value of spacing in fraction of wavelength:- .50 Major to minor lobe ratio in dB:- 10 So the excitation currents are:0.4463 0.4306 0.4003 0.3576 1.0000

4.
Enter the value of no. of elements:- 10 Enter the value of spacing in fraction of wavelength:- .50 Major to minor lobe ratio in dB:- 20 So the excitation currents are:1.0000 0.9214 0.7780 0.5944 0.6416

Comments: I have tried to compare the results after varying Ro and element specing. Conclusion: As we increases the spacing between two elements the number of minor lobes increases and the number of nulls increases.[{Ex. 1 and Ex 3} or {Ex 2 and Ex 4}] and when we increase the Ro ,no of minor lobes remains same.
