Hi,
The article Phased Array Antenna Patterns - Part 3: Sidelobes and Tapering written by Peter Delos, Bob Broughton, and John Kraft says that: For a linear array with N elements spaced at a half wavelength, the resolution of the beam angle is calculated by the equation below:
I'm confused about the difference between the beam angle resolution and the smallest beam steering angle. If I wanna implement a real phased array antenna by using a phase shifter for each antenna element, what is the smallest beam steering angle I can achieve (i.e., 6 bits)? Is that the same value as the beam angle resolution in the article ?
Please answer my question
