A phased array antenna is an array antenna in
which phases shifts can be applied to the signals received
or transmitted from indivual elements in such a way that
the antenna can be electrically steered. An important advantage of
a phased array antenna over a mechanically rotated antenna
is the lack of moving parts.
One common application of a
phased array antenna is as a radar antenna.
A phased
array antenna may be a flat panel antenna.
