TITLE:
Three-Phase Sample Timing on a Wideband Triangular Array of 4/3 the Usual Density Reduces the Nyquist Rate for Far-Field Signals by Two Thirds

ABSTRACT:
RF-sampled microwave arrays are often limited by the analog-digital conversion speed available. Here the nominally required speed is reduced by a factor of three without aliasing of far-field plane-wave information by using three sample-timing phases on a triangular planar array with 4/3 the element density of the usual ``optimal'' element layout.
