Which risk increases in a phased array antenna due to element mismatch?

💡 Explanation

Element mismatch degrades array performance; the resulting amplitude and phase errors interfere with the coherent summation of signals. This degrades 'side lobe suppression' because these errors propagate unwanted signals, therefore side lobe amplitudes increase, rather than signal quality enhancing.
