Grating lobes

For discrete aperture antennas in which the element spacing is greater than a half wavelength, a spatial aliasing effect allows plane waves incident to the array from visible angles other than the desired direction to be coherently added, causing grating lobes. Grating lobes are undesirable and identical to the main lobe. The perceived difference seen in the grating lobes is because of the radiation pattern of non-isotropic antenna elements, which affects main and grating lobes differently. For isotropic antenna elements, the main and grating lobes are identical.
