Description
Summary:The article presents the results of the research of the dependence of the signal-to-noise ratio in the focal spot of the reflecting passive phased antenna array (PPAA), made of planar diffraction elements, on the orientation of the PPAA relative to the structure of the interference field, its dimensions and distance from PPAA plane to the focal spot. The results of the research show that the signal-to-noise ratio mainly depends on the horizontal size of the PPAA. The increase of the vertical size of the array leads to the fact that the focal distance corresponding to the maximum of the signal-to-noise ratio increases with the practically unchanged value of this maximum.
