Chapter 9, Problem 47P
A linear array arranged along the z axis consists of 12 equally spaced elements with d = λ/2. Choose an appropriate incremental phase delay δ so as to steer the main beam to a direction 30° above the broadside direction. Provide an expression for the array factor of the steered antenna and plot the pattern. From the pattern, estimate the beamwidth.

At this height the orbit period is 24 h, so that it seems to hang motionless above the Earth, which turns underneath the satellite once every 24 h. This is called a "synchronous" satellite. The advantage of such an arrangement is that receiving antennas on the ground can point at a seemingly fixed location of the satellite in the sky and not have to be steered. You have probably seen such fixed receiving antennas pointed at the sky.
