which is identical to the untapered beam intensity given in Reference 2 and consistent with the untapered electric field distribution given in Reference 12. Suddath [6] has examined the family of diffraction patterns given in Equation 2 and has concluded that a "good" electric field pattern (in terms of sidelobe minimization) can be obtained by combining the n = 1 case and the n — 4 case. The field is of the form: If this expression is squared (to yield a function proportional to power instead of a: electric field) and properly scaled, then the beam pattern can be expressed by:
