Which consequence results when a pulsed radar transmitter using a phased array experiences element phase drift?

💡 Explanation

Beam broadening and gain reduction occur because phase drift between antenna elements disrupts constructive interference, therefore distorting the far-field pattern, rather than causing amplifier failure because power mismatches occur under phase error.
