Abstract :
Future mobile communication services which will operate at microwave/millimetre wavelengths require advanced antenna design. The authors here propose circular arrays of monopoles, for beam steering based on electronic switching. They provide appreciable directivity gain, and may allow implementation of angular diversity in communications systems. Satisfactory radiation patterns are computed and measured
