All the weights of the antenna elements can have equal magnitudes.
In military use the antenna elements are 2-3 inches in diameter.
The electrical length of an antenna element is, in general, different from its physical length.
By phasing the antenna elements, some elevation change could be attained.
In systems where equalization is applied, it may be desirable to introduce delays between the antenna elements.
It had four 230-meter long X-shaped antenna elements, which made it one of the largest spacecraft ever built.
Such a set of antenna elements is called an antenna array.
The distance between two adjacent antenna elements is relying on the angular spread of the beam signal.
Band C contains 48 antenna elements mounted on wooden structures placed in a circle around the central building.
In a conventional phased array the individual antenna elements are mounted on a flat surface.
