Need some corrections about using loop antenna for phased array

i m now a day working on the loop antenna array and what come to my mind after all these research is that loop antenna cant be use for phased array this is because at high frequency the 1 lambda wavelength loop is already a phased element that has either phase shift in current or amplitude of current is comparable with lambda.
while this is for large loop antenna or the other hand the loop array in case of small loop antenna the phased array is possible and is know as goniometer and aperiodic phase array, the first works well for 2to 20Mhz while the second is contradictory report
have ur opinion or suggestion about this
