What wavelength do we use when calculating the array manifold vector when transmitting LFM waveforms?

We know that the array manifold vector, also called the steering vector, for an M element array is given by: $$ \mathbf{a}(\theta, \phi) = [e^{-j \omega \tau_{1}(\theta, \phi)}, e^{-j \omega \tau_{2}(\...
