Array Radiation Pattern in the Receive Mode

How can I compute the receive radiation pattern of a linear array of antennas subjected to a plane wave? Please let me know the process in detail.

 

Thank you so much in advance.

    Usually in receive mode all antenna elements would have a load added to the feed port (e.g. R=50 Ohm) and the magnitude and phase of the current in the loads would be viewed in POSTFEKO.

    If you just want to know the re-radiated field based on the plane wave, then just adding a far field request would be sufficient.

    Else please clarify the request?
