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.
