Which outcome occurs when increased surface roughness causes path obstruction on a phased array antenna?

💡 Explanation

Increased surface roughness leads to greater signal scattering by the **Huygens-Fresnel principle**, where each point on the rough surface re-radiates as a secondary source. Therefore, side lobe power is increased, because scattered signals contribute to off-axis radiation, rather than improved beam quality.
