The total weight was estimated in Table IV-C-3-3 from the JSC proposed 10 step power density profile (taper). To obtain the total weight for each specific power density area, the taper had to be reduced to 7 steps to produce a practical design for the sizing of the elements. This resulted in only 7 different sizes for the elements - one specific size for each power density area. Knowing the weight per element and the number of elements per subarray, the weight per subarray was calculated. The number of subarrays in each power density area was measured and final weights per power density area and per total antenna array were computed.
