Title :
Effect of the Misalignment of Antenna Elements in Phased Arrays

Abstract :
Some arrays might be built in the laboratory with hand assembly and poor alignment of the elements and low tolerance in the feeding network could occur. This affects the radiation characteristics of the array particularly side lobe level and the cross-polarization. This phenomenon is investigated in this paper on a linear dielectric resonator array
