A DRA with preferentially controlled grading lobes is described. The DRA comprises a plurality of elements, collectively defining a main lobe nearest the DRA boresight and a set of grating lobes near the main lobe, wherein each of the grating lobes in the set of grating lobes is angularly displaced from the main lobe by a grating lobe angle that varies asymmetrically about that main lobe. In one embodiment, the plurality of elements comprises a first row of elements extending in a first direction that is tilted relative to the Northerly direction by an angle psi, and a second row of elements, parallel to the first row of elements, the second row of elements offset from the first row of elements in the first direction by a stagger distance S.
