Abstract-A novel reconfigurable plasma corner reflector antenna is proposed to better collimate the energy in forward direction operating at 2.4GHz. Implementation of a low cost plasma element permits beam shape to be changed electrically. The maximum measured gains are 5.7dBi, 10.8dBi and 10.5dBi for the omnidirectional, single and double beam shapes respectively.Index Terms-Corner reflector antenna, plasma corner reflector antenna, plasma antenna, reconfigurable antenna, reconfigurable plasma antenna.

The possibility of using a surfaguide device as plasma source for plasma antenna application has been experimentally investigated. The surfaguide was optimized, realized and used for the ignition of a plasma column to be used as a radiating structure: the coupling with the radiated signal network and plasma antenna efficiency were measured showing that a surfaguide can be effectively used to create and sustain the plasma conductive medium. A plasma diagnostic technique was also developed to evaluate the plasma column length and plasma conductivity with respect to the power supplied. These measurements highlighted that plasma antenna properties are strongly affected by the pump signal and therefore this signal has to be optimized in order to have the highest conductivity.
