32. The amplitude dropout effect will lead to a significant decrease of the intensity at the far-field central lobe and to amplification of the intensity of double peaks that are symmetric to the center of the pattern. It will not be a "pure" antiphase pattern since, because of partial entrainment by the injected field, approximately 25% of the total intensity is concentrated at the center lobe.
