Abstract
This paper analyzes the causes of issues encountered by phased arrays when attempting to scan to low angles. These issues include beam-width widening, gain reduction, increased power return to systems, and pattern degradation. Understanding the causes of these issues can lead to better phased array designs achieving beam steering to lower elevation angles.
