Abstract : Aliasing of far-field plane-wave information is avoided using only half the conventional Nyquist sample rate when sample timing is staggered on adjacent elements of a linear antenna array. The receive version of the array is examined here. The required upsampling beamformer structure is presented, and examples illustrate the pattern-design process.
