The directive gain of circular Taylor patterns is determined. It is shown that so‐called optimum patterns, i.e., uniform sidelobes in all planes, are severely limited for planar apertures because of excessive sidelobe power. The optimum directive gain of the circular Taylor pattern with a given sidelobe level can be obtained by appropriate design.
