Since our interest is in the total field of the array, we use the
approach by [6] of the field pattern of a single element where,

RESULTS
Figure 3 shows the plot of the total field strength of the array in
equation (13) plotted against the distance and the
transmitting/receiving antenna elevation. It is evident that as
the field goes farther away from the antenna, the intensity
decreases, hence the signal power received is low. In this
situation, and in the presence of interference, the probability of
error is seen to be increasing. The increase is shown in Figure 4
with h values of the field intensity in the plots varying from 1,
0.5, 0.35 and 0.28; where h = 1 is most intense field and h =
0.28 is the least intense. Figure 5 plots show that where the
highest Eb/N0 = 20 dB, the probability of error is a lot lower
than all the other cases; an indication that the field strength
must have been higher to result into a stronger signal being
received and hence ensuring that interference was kept below
the signal strength. In this context SOHO would most likely
take place 90 - 95% of the time without a problem. Where the
field intensity is lower, the probability of SOHO being
successful, would depend on other contributing factors such as
comparisons of Eb/N0 with other cells, system BER
requirements and thresholds for time-to-trigger events.
