Phased Arrays - Steering and the Antenna Pattern | An Animated Intro to Phased Arrays

Traditional antennas need to physically move to track signals, but phased arrays change the game by steering beams electronically. How does this work? In this video, I’ll break down some key concepts: Near vs. far field How phased arrays steer signals using phase shifters The math behind beamforming and antenna patterns 1D vs. 2D arrays -------------------------------------------------- Channel Memberships: https://marshallbruner.com/pages/supp...

This is wrong. It is a complex exponential which equals cos(x) + jsin(x). The real representation would be a cosine function. (14:44) The complex exponential is negative, so the angle should be rotating around clockwise and not counter clockwise.
