Abstract:In classical periodic phased arrays, designers use the amplitude and phase of identical array elements to achieve desired characteristics such as sidelobe level, main beamwidth, scan angle, etc. A phased array composed of individual patternreconfigurable antenna elements possesses a third degree of freedom that may enhance or expand array performance. This work explores the functional benefits of utilizing radiation reconfigurable antennas with beam tilts in phased arrays, focusing on the effects of reconfigur… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
