Title :
Grating lobe pattern mapping over pitch and roll of a triangular lattice planar array

Abstract :
A method is presented to determine the maximum lattice spacing of a triangular lattice array that will maintain a clear specified scan area (clear from spurious grating lobe beams) as the antenna proceeds through a specified pitch and roll. A uniformly spaced lattice of isotropic radiators is assumed.<>
