Connection between Antennas, Beam Steering, and the Moire Effect

The moire effect provides an interpretation for the steering of antennas that form beams through internal spatial interferences. We make an explicit connection between such antennas and the moire effect, and use it to model six planar antennas that steer by scaling, rotating, or translating operations. Three of the antennas illustrate how to use moire patterns to generate antenna designs.
