Scan Angle Extension by Array with Pattern Reconfigurable ElementsAbstract
In this paper, a linear phased array with pattern reconfigurable elements is studied to perform a scan angle extension of the array. The developed array can scan its main beam from -70o to 70o in its scanning plane. Compared with the traditional microstrip phased array, the scanning angle is extended remarkably.
