Care is taken to maintain the values of side lobe level and maximum Wide Null Placement of the corrected pattern to be identical to the values of non-defective radiation pattern. This correction is made possible by altering the beam weights of the remaining elements in the array. The advantage of this method is that the necessity of replacement of the faulty elements is eliminated. Simulation is done on the linear antenna array constructed of individual isotropic elements separated by identical inter-element spacing and the results obtained from the simulation depict the effectiveness of the proposed method. This method can also be extended to other array geometries.
