A beam switched loop antenna for pattern reconfigurable applications

A beam switched loop antenna with eight symmetrical feeding ports is proposed for beam steering applications. The feeding ports when excited one by one generate eight steerable tilted beams capable of covering complete space in front of antenna. The return loss, polarisation and all other antenna pa...

Zusammenfassung:A beam switched loop antenna with eight symmetrical feeding ports is proposed for beam steering applications. The feeding ports when excited one by one generate eight steerable tilted beams capable of covering complete space in front of antenna. The return loss, polarisation and all other antenna parameters stays the same for all the eight feeding configurations. The directivity of the antenna for each of the port configuration is 9.1 dBi with polarisation dominance in the Ee direction.
