Abstract
A system and method for projecting a scene using sub-elemental control of antenna phase center locations is disclosed. The system and method may include an antenna array configured to transmit the projected scene including a plurality of antenna phase center locations. The system and method may include a controller operatively coupled to the antenna array. The controller may be configured to determine antenna phase center location weightings corresponding to the plurality of antennas based on distances between perceived/desired lateral positions of particular antenna phase center locations and an actual lateral position of the particular antenna. The antenna phase center location weightings may be configured to shift the projected scene a shift distance that is less than an antenna pitch between the plurality of antennas.
