  • Abstract
    The beam pointing error theory for the phased array antennas (PAA) with true-time-delay (TTD) module is proposed in closed form and is confirmed to be valid. The proposed theory easily gives the optimum subarray size, which is a unit of a TTD module, and maximum delay length of the TTD module in order to attain the desired beam pointing accuracy.
