Subject: Modelling LED illumination for the poor people.

Hi, There!
I want to experiment with some calculations to estimate the intensity
distribution of an LED backlight. Maybe you can help me to get an
intensity distribution over x.
The Idea:
There is a surface along x (---) where I want to know the intensity
distribution.
In a distance h there is a second surface (___) with assembled LEDs
{x1, x2, x3, ...} with a certain intensity distribution Irel(phi)
and a certain gap g on the left side (x<0).
For simplicity I reduced this problem to 1-dimension to get started.
d 0
---------a-----x--------------+-------------------------> x
| /
h| /r
|phi
| /
__x0_____x1_____x2_____x3_____x4________________________
g
The intensity distribuion according to the LED's datasheet is
approximately:
Irel(phi):=0.6*cos(phi)+0.4 (quite spheric)
with phi:=atan(d/h)
In a certain distance r of the LED, the illumination intensity
is approx.:
Ix(r):=1/r^2
with r:=sqrt(h^2+d^2)
I modelled d:=x-a to be able to move over several positions...
And when I put all this together I end up with:
h:15;
a:20;
f(x):=(0.6*cos(atan((x-a)/h))+0.4)*1/((x-a)^2+h^2);
plot2d(f,[x,-100,100]);
for one LED... looks basically okay.
But how can I get the superimposition of all LEDs with that
gap g (i.e. g:6)?
I think about summing up all f(x,a).
Unfortunately, my maxima syntax knowledge is at beginner's level.
Can you please help me to get the integral light of all LEDs depending
on h and g?
Thank you very much,
Clemens
