Which risk increases when an antenna array designed for beamforming experiences element failure?

💡 Explanation

Increased side lobe energy is a risk because element failure degrades array uniformity and the sidelobe suppression mechanism. Therefore, signal rejection across the desired cone decreases, rather than reducing noise; this redistribution is not analogous to changes in frequency or signal purity.
