Within phased array radar systems for air traffic control, which risk increases due to mutual coupling between antenna elements?

💡 Explanation

Undesired grating lobe formation increases due to *mutual impedance*, because energy radiates in unintended directions interfering with main lobe precision; therefore, angular resolution degrades, rather than power loss or frequency shift which are separate antenna parameters.
