That applied delay now misaligns the phase of the four signals, and the output of the combiner is significantly reduced. Figure 1. Understanding steering angle. In a phased array, time delay is the ...

Figure 5. Beam squint example at X-band for a 32-element linear array with a λ/2 element spacing. Also consider that at boresight, θ = 0, there is no phase shift across the elements and therefore no ...
