Planar Beam Steerable Parasitic Array Antenna System Design Based on the Yagi-Uda Design Method

A planar beam steerable array antenna system is proposed with dual-control circuits for feeding and reactive loadings. Two orthogonally arranged planar dipoles are excited by SPDT switching circuits, while the forward and backward beam directions are controlled by the adjusted effective electric len...
