Doctoral dissertation, Harvard University.http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:11300http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:11745719Extreme Value Theory (EVT) is used to analyze the peak sidelobe level distribution for array element positions with arbitrary probability distributions. Computations are discussed in the context of linear antenna arrays using electromagnetic energy. The results also apply to planar arrays of random elements that can be transformed into linear arrays.en-USElectrical engineeringElectromagneticsEngineeringExtreme Value Theorymaximum beampatternmaximum side lobemaximum sidelobe distributionpeak side lobePeak sidelobe distributionThesis or Dissertation2014-02-25
