Abstract
A phased array radar for providing a beam cluster whose average direction is determined by phase shifters associated with each antenna radiating element, and whose illumination function is determined by the phase and amplitude provided to subarrays of randomly agglomerated radiating elements which provide an aperiodic illumination error function that substantially reduces the grating lobes of the antenna pattern.
