Which risk to a satellite communication signal occurs when the phased array antenna loses thermal control and coherence?

💡 Explanation

Signal fading occurs because phased array antennas rely on constructive interference from many coherent sources. Thermal distortion causes phase errors, disrupting this interference, therefore misaligning the signal beam rather than causing interference, thermal noise, or affecting power.
