Two-Dimensional Pattern Scanning by Linear Phased Array with Pattern Reconfigurable ElementsAbstract
In this paper, a linear phased array with pattern reconfigurable elements is studied to perform a two-dimensional pattern scanning. Compared with the traditional linear array, the new linear array can scan the patterns in two-dimensional directions??i.e. -direction and -direction. The results indicate that the main beam of the proposed array can continuously scan from =30o to =150 o in the E-plane by adjusting the feed phases of reconfigurable elements and from =-50o to =50o in the H-plane by switching the elements operating states.
