Abstract
An antenna array is a system compound from simply radiators (dipoles, microstrip antennas), that together form desired radiation pattern. Phased array antennas consist of multiple stationary antenna elements, that are fed coherently and use variable phase or time-delay control at each element to scan a beam to given angles in space. Variable amplitude control is sometimes also provided for antenna pattern shaping.
