A procedure to design a switched pattern antenna array is developed and demonstrated on a 16- and eight-element array. The variable spacing of elements allows us to reduce the number of switchable elements to a minimum and to reduce the sidelobes of the effective pattern. Based on this design we have built and tested an eight-element prototype array. Measurements demonstrate the feasibility of the pattern switching concept for improved sidelobe performance.
