Reconfigurable linear array antenna with beam shaping at 5.8GHz

In this paper, experimental data was demonstrated the concepts of reconfigurable number of elements that produced broad beam and narrow beam radiating pattern characteristic. Using modified WPD in the antenna structure, produced better performance in term of return loss characteristic. This research has taken advantage of the flexibility of the number of element technique by applying it to the problem of reconfigurable multiple beam array combination. The reconfigurable dual-beam antenna pattern at fixed frequencies across the entire 5.7–5.9 GHz band was presented in this paper with excellent radiation patterns.
