Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to the field of antenna communication systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to phase array antenna systems communicating dual frequency signals generating intermodulation grating lobes. A grating lobe suppression method is applied to a phased array antenna system having antenna array elements that are grouped in regularly spaced subarrays each having a plurality of regularly spaced antenna elements within the subarrays for suppressing intermodulation grating lobes generated within a field of view of the antenna system when amplifying two modulated carrier communication signals at respective two different frequencies.
