As phased arrays begin to include more mixed-signal and digital content, many engineers can benefit from a more intuitive explanation of phased-array antenna patterns. It turns out that many analogies exist between the behavior of phased-array antennas and the discrete time-sampled systems that the mixed-signal and digital engineers work with every day.
