每个天线单元都由独立的移相开关控制，通过控制各天线单元发射的相位，就能合成不同相位波束。相控阵各天线单元发射的电磁波以干涉原理合成一个接近笔直的雷达主瓣，而旁瓣则是各天线单元的不均匀性而造成。(Each antenna unit is controlled by an independent phase shift switch. By controlling the phase transmitted by each antenna element, different phase beams can be synthesized. The electromagnetic wave emitted from each antenna unit of phased array generates a nearly straight radar main lobe based on the interference principle, while the sidelobe is caused by the heterogeneity of the antenna units.)
