Within phased array radar systems for air traffic control, which risk increases due to mutual coupling between antenna elements?

💡 Explanation

Undesired grating lobe formation increases due to *mutual impedance*, because energy radiates in unintended directions interfering with main lobe precision; therefore, angular resolution degrades, rather than power loss or frequency shift which are separate antenna parameters.

• Which outcome occurs when an aircraft's flight control system experiences actuator saturation?
• Which consequence results when rapid de-energization occurs in a large power transformer?
• Which outcome occurs when contaminants restrict a hydraulic actuator's exhaust?
• Which consequence results when a hydraulic actuator demands maximum force/flow?
• Which risk dramatically increases when an aircraft's airspeed falls below Vmc during engine failure?
• Which consequence results when a three-phase autotransformer's tertiary winding breaker trips carrying unbalanced fault current?
