Abstract:Focused arrays are attracting increased interest because of their wide range of applications. Focusing the antenna's radiation in the near field requires proper phase distribution of the array elements that must be fed through many phase shifters. This work presents a design idea for a focused circular array antenna, whose focal distance can be varied by only a single variable phase shifter. The idea is implemented on a dual ring circular array having a six-wavelength diameter and focused at five wavelengths b… Show more
